The camp occupies forty wooded, lakefront acres 200 miles north of Detroit, and an outpost site on the Au Sable River. It is surrounded by hundreds of acres of state forest. The camp's thirty buildings, recreational facilities, and outdoor chapel are situated on Higgins Lake, known for its crystal clear spring-fed water and soft sandy bottom. Since 1925, Westminster has provided a setting where youth develop a sense of responsibility and self-worth in a Christian community. The enthusiastic, gifted, and multicultural staff are carefully selected and thoroughly trained.

Camp Westminster offers different camps for four age groups: ages 7-11 (elementary); ages 12-14 (mid-highs); ages 15-17 (senior highs) and Family Events (for all ages). Each camp is specifically designed for that age group. Every Camp Westminster experience includes Morning Watch (devotions), daily Bible Quest time, evening vespers, camp store time and waterfront time.
