Our Mission

Welcome to Kettunen Center! Kettunen Center is a full-service conference and retreat facility, owned and operated by the Michigan 4-H Foundation. It is located outside Tustin, Michigan, just 20 minutes south of Cadillac.

Mission Statement: Kettunen Center is a focal point for statewide 4-H leader training and development and serves as a learning center for many other groups. We offer programs and services which reflect the values of 4-H and the center's natural resources.

Situated on 160 acres of northern Michigan rolling hills and forests on Center Lake, Kettunen Center provides beauty, serenity, and tranquility in a natural setting with many opportunities to unwind and explore while taking care of business.

Kettunen Center is the natural place for your next conference. Learn more. "I have conducted professional training on adolescents throughout the state of Michigan. It is clear to me that my favorite place for the training is the Kettunen Center."
