Butzel Conference Center specializes in meeting the needs of groups of 100 or less.  Located close to major Michigan cities such as Detroit, Flint, Lansing and Ann Arbor, it is an easy commute to this beautiful, serene private setting where your group has exclusive use of the entire facility. The beauty of this private wooded acreage and the private lakes makes you feel miles from the ordinary.

Whether it is a corporate outing, family reunion, wedding, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or a professional retreat, the Butzel Conference Center is committed to providing the best service possible. Our unique facility offers great flexibility and freedom for your event, offering opportunities for a day program or a residential retreat.  Since the Butzel Conference Center adjoins the Tamarack Outdoor Education Center, groups also have access to trails, water sports and other leisure activities. Our professional staff is available to design a program to meet your specific needs.
