Camp Millhouse

Camp Millhouse Camp Millhouse is a residential summer camp for children & adults with special needs. Find more information at campmillhouse.org

We offer six one-week sessions in the summer & off-season programs called the Millhouse Mingles. Camp Millhouse was founded in 1937 and held at various locations until 1940 when the late Mr. & Mrs. Charles Millhouse donated eleven acres of wooded property in Greene Township of St. Joseph County, ten miles southwest of downtown South Bend, Indiana. The camp is currently operated by Camp Millhouse I

nc., a not-for-profit organization led by a volunteer Board of Directors. Camp Millhouse is an accredited camp by the American Camp Association. Camp Millhouse has grown to it’s present size of 45 acres through the generosity and nurturing support of the Board of Directors and the surrounding community. Camp Millhouse has survived solely on the support of the community, through fundraisers, other monetary donations and camper fees. We are not a United Way agency and do not receive government monies. We have been able to provide amazing experiences for our campers each and every summer thanks to the generous support of our donors.

🧡Current and former staff check in time!💚
Comment below when you worked at Camp Millhouse and what position(s) you worked! Bonus points if you included your favorite camp pic!!

We hire many positions to make our summers come together! Our staff learn valuable life skills such as leadership, compassion, and much much more. Our staff are CPR and first aid certified, and are also trained in assisting with daily living skills, lifting and transferring, feeding others, etc. Camp is the perfect place to learn hands on skills for future careers in health care, education, and beyond. It also is just plain fun!
