Imago Dei Village is a camp located on
beautiful Long Lake half-way between Clintonville and
Shawano, WI. The camp rests on a hill at the southwest
end of the lake. A number of facilities are available
for winter conferences and retreats, including the new
Johnson Lodge, four beautiful Chalets, the Woodlands
Center and Long Lake Gathering in the Village Center.
The site includes softball and playing
fields, a volleyball court, ski and hiking trails, and a
lovely waterfront area. All lodging is new or newer, as
of 2007. This includes two new seasonal Chateau duplexes
and the new Johnson Lodge, located at the west end of
camp. At the east end is the year round complex known as
the Woodlands Center & Chalets. A total of 144 winter
beds (or 90 adults in lower beds) are available
throughout the camp in six separate facilities designed
to accommodate a wide range of group sizes. During the
warmer fall and spring months, the chateau duplexes are
available, providing additional housing for 36.

Imago Dei Village was first established
in 1949 by the men's group of the former American
Lutheran Church. For over 55 years, the camp has been a
second home to hundreds of children, youth, and families
during the summer season. In the mid sixties,
construction of a retreat center enabled hundreds more
to enjoy year round activities at the camp. In recent
years, major improvements in facility and meeting space
have greatly increased the ability of the camp to host
winter retreats and conferences.
Located within one mile
of the site is a 120-acre wilderness area
owned by the camp. This area provides space
for activities such as hiking, mountain
biking, cross country skiing, and creation
learning opportunities. Camp staff are more
than ready to lead activities in this
beautiful natural area.

Food service is available
to all groups and mandatory for large groups
utilizing multiple facilities. A domestic
kitchen area is located in Long Lake
Gathering for small groups who wish to
provide their own food.
