Welcome
Tucked into South West Michigans country side, Camp Sassafras sits on a beautiful 2.8 acre nature lovers paradise. Wood chipped trails wind through the 30 year old wood leading you down a wild path, a foragers haven.

Wellspring Shed
Welcome to Wellspring Shed, our creative sanctuary at Camp Sassafras! With a kitchenette for our freshly harvested garden produce, craft materials, and a cozy hangout area, it’s the perfect place to spark our imagination and take rest from the weather.
Enjoy views of Star Barn and The Vine Stage as the creativity and relaxation flow in.
The Vine Stage
A stone sculpture of Pan, the Greek God of the wild nature, rustic music and companion to nymphs watches over The Vine Stage. The stage faces up at the property emulating an amphitheater and offering a space to gather, showcase, or enjoy a gazebo like experience. The young sassafras forest opens up inviting in peace and creative expression. This magical setting provides a serene space. We have enjoyed live music, hosted nature based education, held yoga classes, and soaked in performances of all kinds on this lovely small stage in the woods!
Trails N Nature
Explore the enchanting trails that wind through the wild beauty that is South West Michigan. Shaped alongside the local deer paths, these routes invite you to immerse yourself in the magic of nature. Over the years, we've dedicated ourselves to clearing invasive species and invite in more native food plants, enriching the already abundant food forest that thrives here. What began as an alfalfa field in the early 1990s has transformed into a vibrant haven, where we are having a conversation with this natural paradise.
