Hello fellow Saint Michael's Parishioners and Campers! 

The year has just begun, but it's not too early to start thinking about booking our 2023 St. Michael's Camping Trip!  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 parish friends at a beautiful campground that will include guarenteed campfires and laughter for the weekend sound?

We have learned that White River Campground will not be able to accomodate our group this year, therfore we are planning our 3rd annual Saint Michael's Catholic Parish weekend camping trip for Muskegon County's Pioneer Park this summer!  We have camped here the previous two years; unfortunately our group-site that we have had in the past is already booked, so we've had to look at other areas of the park for the June 23-25 weekend.

The plan is to reserve several sites together which means if you are interested in joining your fellow parishioners, you will need to reserve one of the sites listed below starting Monday, February 6.  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 wish to camp, but would still like to come up for a day of fun, visitor hours to the park are 8:00am - 10:00pm daily.

We hope you can join us!
