Maranatha Bible Missionary Conference launches adult pickleball camp in Michigan
Adult players spent July 13-17 at Maranatha’s 88-acre Michigan retreat, with pickleball starting at 9:30 a.m. and running into midday.
Maranatha Bible Missionary Conference’s Adult Pickleball Camp 2026 gave adult players a five-day stay at its Michigan retreat center from July 13-17, with court time starting at 9:30 a.m. and running into the midday hours. Open to ages 18 and up, the listing was built as a retreat package, not a one-off lesson, with lodging and play folded into the same stay.
That format made the camp a strong fit for travelers who want more than a quick court reservation. Instead of driving in for a morning session, guests could stay on site, play in a concentrated block, and use the rest of the day around Maranatha’s retreat grounds. The center also lists accommodations and meeting spaces, and handles questions and booking at 231.798.2161. For adult beginners, social players, church groups, and organized friend groups, the appeal is the same: a set pickleball schedule without having to piece together courts and rooms separately.
The pickleball week sat inside Maranatha’s broader 2026 sports calendar, which also included Baseball Camp from June 29-July 3, Tennis Camp from July 6-10, Soccer Camp from July 13-17, Volleyball Camp from July 27-31, and Football Camp from July 27-31. Maranatha says its sports camps are coached by professional athletes and are meant to share “the glory and love of Christ,” adding that hundreds of kids have come to a saving faith in Christ through the ministry over the years.
Maranatha says it has spent almost 90 years providing “renewal, respite, and recreation” to Christ’s church, tracing its start to a boys’ camp Henry Savage launched in 1936. Today, the retreat center says its grounds cover 88 acres, and its summer calendar also includes adult speakers and mission groups alongside the camp weeks.
A separate Maranatha Facebook post for July 16 listed a Pickleball & Soccer Camp day from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at $50 per person, lunch included, which shows how the center has packaged court time with a full-day schedule. That is the same basic draw behind the adult pickleball week: a ready-made stay, a fixed block of play, and a retreat setting that turns a few mornings on court into a destination trip.
