The Facility. . .

“The all-around atmosphere of the place was great – rustic enough to be ‘campy’ but with enough conveniences to be comfortable.”

 “Sleeping quarters – more than adequate for a camp experience. . . it was most comfortable. The Great House Lodge – what a great place for meals and fellowship. Property – what a great piece of property! Everything we could ask for in a camp experience was at our disposal.”

“Gorgeous!”

“The facility is rustically charming and is placed within the arms of Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, one of the most pristine, inviting and magical places on earth. The natural beauty of the area invites you outdoors to witness the seasons through the eyes of Lake Michigan.”

Highlights of your stay. . .

“Enjoyed seeing students who normally take a ‘back seat’ to others in the classroom come out of their ‘shell’ and display some leadership characteristics of their own.”

“I enjoyed watching the kids exceed beyond what they though was possible for them.”

“Making the kids aware of the great resources and natural beauty in their own backyard.”

“The ropes course was a wonderful activity involving skill and courage for all involved. Many people moved from their comfort zone and brought themselves to a new level. Very rewarding activity!”

“Watching kids, who normally lack confidence, struggle and succeed.”

“It’s refreshing to see our students through the eyes of others. They each have their own unique qualities which are often overlooked when seen daily.”
