Camp Trotter is owned and operated by Department of Michigan VFW as a childrens camp 7 miles east of Newaygo on M-82.
Age for campers is 7-12 and cost is $300 per camper, and includes food and lodging. Camp activities include swimming, boating, hiking, biking, arts and crafts, archery, softball, volleyball, as well as campfire activities. The children are given a general knowledge of science, art, and nature, and taught patriotism, courage, and self-reliance. We try to instill morals and values by combining educational activities with fun.
They are also looking to fill staffing positions for female and male counselors (18 or older), lifeguards, kitchen staff, and janitor/maintenance workers. If interested, please contact OrvilleB831@comcast.net or 734-486-8608.
