[edit] History

Established as Camp Onekama in 1913 as a camp for Boy Scouts and boys from the YMCA. In 1924, the Rev'd Francis Carrington, Dean of St. Mary-St Margaret Episcopal Girls School in Knoxville, Illinois acquired the property and it was renamed Camp Carrington. In 1937, under its new director, Rev'd Arthur Taylor, it was renamed "Little Eden". In 1944, the camp was purchased by a Mennonite Church group from Ohio.
