Methodist camp keeps it simple
The Pictured Rocks United Methodist Camp near Monticello remains modest with four lodges for about 88 campers, no air conditioning, and outdoorsy activities like rappelling and canoeing. Despite simple facilities, leaders emphasize Bible study, lightweight gear, and affordable weeklong camps, with about 66 junior high and high school youths attending.
