What: Breakfast with Santa
When: December 14 | 8am – 1pm
Where: Camp Rotary, Clare, MI

Santa Claus may love cookies and milk, but he also has a soft spot for a hearty breakfast, it seems! And it’s no wonder. With all those visits to make even before Christmas day, the guy needs fuel!  St. Nick is making his way to Camp Rotary – and your family is invited to join him. Can’t make it for breakfast?  No problem!  We’ll be throwing down pancakes through lunch time as well!  Sit down to a holiday meal with the man in red, where kids are guaranteed to have a magical, jolly good time.

Can’t make it to one of these events, but want to enjoy our great properties?  Consider renting a cabin or campsite at one of our six venues!  Visit Mitten Outdoor Adventures & Events to book your next experience!
