Welcome to Amigo Centre, a retreat and recreation center for members of the Indiana-Michigan Mennonite Conference congregations, their friends and the wider community. Amigo provides a unique environment where we gather to listen and share, play and worship, enjoy nature, creation and community. Situated on over 400 acres of woodland, marsh and lake, Amigo has a diverse, nearly untouched, ecosystem that is just waiting to be explored. Amigo is blessed with a diverse natural setting, and when you go hiking on our trails you have the privilege of experiencing the beauty of several ecosystems no matter which loop you choose to hike.
