Circle Pines Center

Circle Pines Center is a member-owned non-profit cooperative organization. We run summer camps and year round weekend programs for children, families and adults. We serve high quality home made meals made from local and organic ingredients whenever possible. We buy from several local farmers. The co-op owns 294 acres of land with rolling hills, hardwood and pine forests, meadows and frontage on Stewart Lake. We have miles of trails for hiking and cross-country skiing, a labyrinth, a sauna, and an organic garden and orchard. The facilities are available for rent for personal and group retreats, family events, school groups, and conferences. The mission of Circle Pines is to teach peace, social justice, environmental stewardship and cooperation. The Center aims to demonstrate cooperative alternatives for economic and social issues and to teach cooperation as a way of life. Circle Pines Center is located in Southwest Michigan, about halfway between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, in beautiful Barry County.
