As part of your annual program fee, our Michigan Crossroad Council Camps offer TWO free events each year open to ALL registered Scouting families! Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturers and Sea Scouts are welcome to visit our camps for a fun-filled day!
Although these events are FREE you must register ahead of time to help us plan for supplies and keep participants informed for contact tracing purposes. All registrations close one week prior to the event. No walk-ins.  These events are come and go as you please, show up when you want, leave when you want (within specified time frame, of course).
Activities
All camps are offering a slightly different program (see program details below), but a lunch will be provided and Trading Posts (camp store) will be open at each event.
Camping
If you would like to come out for more than just the day remember that campsites are FREE to registered units! You can reserve one HERE:Â https://michiganscouting.org/facility-rental/
** Events are “Come when you can, leave when you must”. You are not required to be at the event entire day. **
