Hello Saint Michael's parishoners!
Imagine strolling along a beautiful beach at Lake Michigan on a warm summer afternoon and watching the sunset this coming June. How does hanging out with your arish friends at a beautiful campground that will include guarenteed campfires and laughter for the weekend sound?
We are planning a Saint Michael's Catholic Parish weekend camping trip to Muskegon County Pioneer Park this summer!
The plan is to reserve several sites together which means if you are interested in joining your fellow parishoners, you will need to reserve one of the sites listed below starting at 8:00am January 4. These sites are designed for campers, however if you don't have a camper but want to camp there are still tent sites available as well.
If you don't want to camp but would like to join us still, we will have a 'pot-luck' dinner Saturday evening for everyone who wants to join in on the fun!
We hope you can join us!

SAINT MICHAEL'S GROUP CAMPSITES:
There are 6 sites on 2 corners (see map below) where we plan to "circle the wagons" so to speak, so that the right (door) side of each camper will all face each other.
