Northern Pines Camp & Retreat Center

About Us

Northern Pines is a year-round Minnesota United Methodist Conference Camp located in the north central area of Minnesota.

Northern Pines is situated on a 40 acre site on the east shore of Fish Hook Lake, in the woods and towering pines near Park Rapids, in the area known as the Heartland of northern Minnesota and is an ideal setting. The headwaters of the Mississippi River in Itasca State Park is just a short drive.

Whatever the season or the reason Northern Pines is a beautiful place to be and ''be-coming.'' We invite you to a tradition of gentle persuasiveness. It's the kind of place that grows on you because of the experiences that happen here. Northern Pines is here for you to experience a summer camp, retreat, family reunion or holiday, church picnic, business meeting.
