Camp Nesbit · Sidnaw, MI
A week of water, trees, and one another.
Good Hope Family Campers gathers July 18–25, 2026 at Nesbit Lake Organizational Camp. Christian living, not a resort, but sharing, growing, giving, and caring.
How we began
From a Milwaukee parish to a northern Michigan lake.
Our camp began with a group of CFM families from Our Lady of Good Hope Parish, Milwaukee, WI. They accepted a challenge to live together for a week as a large community without conflict. Their week was successful, and from that week in Northern Michigan, our group evolved.
The week at camp is a vacation, but it is more than a week at a resort. It is a week of sharing, growing, giving, and caring for each other. It is more than a vacation, as it is a week of Christian living and sharing our love for one another. To accomplish this goal, we need the cooperation of everyone.
Rooted in Our Lady of Good Hope Parish, Milwaukee, WI.
