Amigo Centre Family Retreats

We are excited to be welcoming guests back to Amigo Centre. We've been working overtime to make sure all of our guests and staff are safe. 
  • Amigo Centre’s West Shore Lodge and Retreat Center are open     
    • West Shore Lodge (WSL) is a four bedroom cabin with two shared bathrooms, a full kitchen and air conditioning. Linens are not provided. This is a perfect spot for a family with kids and allows for a family retreat in a spot set apart from the rest of camp. 
    • The Retreat Center has been divided into four suites. Each suite has a meeting space with a fridge, microwave and sink. Each room has air conditioning and private bathrooms. 
  • Amigo Park is open mid-May through mid-October. Like Amigo Park’s Facebook to stay up-to-date on what is open.
  • If you and your family would like to spend a day at Amigo Centre, our pavilion and the attached meeting room is available just for the day. This provides you with an air conditioned space with a restroom, a sink, fridge and microwave. The fee includes use of canoes, access to trails and swim area.
​
Amigo Centre has put the following things in place to ensure your safety:
  • Staff are monitoring their health every day and procedures are in place for any symptoms or possible exposures that might come up.
  • Each designated family area has been assigned a color to make it clear which areas are for which family.
  • Staff, while inside, will wear a mask.
  • Food service is available for your time here (minimum of 10 guests). 
  • Cleaning procedures have been updated to ensure that they are in line with CDC guidelines and use EPA approved disinfectant.
  • Some buildings like the nature center and gym are available upon request and scheduled when multiple guest groups present.
While at Amigo Centre we ask guests do the following:
  • Monitor your health. If you begin to experience symptoms or become aware of a potential exposure be prepared to leave Amigo Centre. (We are not prepared to be a quarantine site.)
  • Do not enter another guest area. 
  • If interacting with a staff member or another guest indoors that you wear a mask and maintain six feet of space.
  • If interacting with a staff member or another guest outdoors that you maintain six feet of distance.
  • Provide Amigo Centre with contact information in case the need arises for contact tracing. 

MASK REGULATIONS
Masks are recommended for all individuals in indoor settings.
  • Guests at Amigo by themselves may choose to wear masks when in their group inside.
  • Guests from one household do not need to wear masks inside when not with other households.
  • Guests must wear masks when around staff.
  • Guests must wear masks when in the Dining Hall, except when eating.
  • Masks are not required outside.
  • Amigo Centre staff will continue to wear masks when serving guests or campers inside.
 
What all comes with a reservation or stay at Amigo Centre?
  • Access to a canoe, life jackets and paddles (Summer). An Amigo staff member will provide instruction on how to safely use them.
  • You’re welcome to fish if you have a Michigan fishing license. These can be purchased online.
  • Trails are now open, used with caution. Some trails on the islands are still closed due to storm damage from August 2021.
  • A campfire ring. This can be used for cooking or just enjoying.
  • Our Nature Center may be open for bird watching (available upon request).
  • Use of the swim area is open and available to guests at Amigo Centre (summer).
  • Sledding is available on the front lawn. We hope to have our tube run available, with a snow pack of a minimum of 6 inches. Check for availability!

There are a number of other staff led activities such as a pontoon ride, a nature hike, an outdoor cooking class or archery that can be scheduled but would require an extra fee.

Can we come with multiple families? Sure, we’d ask that you spend your time together outdoors. Please avoid sharing indoor space. This reduces the chances of something being spread.

Are you serving food? Yes we are. We'd love to take this task off your hands. Right now food is being served in our dining hall for groups of 10 or more. We are currently offering brunch (10 am) or supper (5 pm) options. 

What do I need to bring? 
  • If you're in West Shore Lodge you'll need to bring your own linens (bedding and towels)
  • If you are in the Retreat Center, all linens (bedding and towels) are provided.
  • Food (If you aren't taking meals with us)
  • Toiletries
  • Bug spray
  • Games
  • Books  
  • DVD's or downloaded movies. (We encourage everyone to spend time outside but know sometimes all you want to do is sit and relax while watching a show or movie. Our internet doesn't handle streaming the best.)
