Hello All-
It's finally here! All the information you could want about our 2nd Annual GROW camping trip! So here's the need to know:
DATES: June 20-22, 2008; RSVP(see bottom of email) by June 15th.
LOCATION: This year we decided on a location closer to town so that people could come for just one night if necessary or if they wanted/needed to for just the day. The campground is White River Campground in Montegue, MI. The website is:

My family has camped here for more summers than I can remember and the Campground has a wonderful bathroom facility, fortunately right near our sites, also a pool, a creek that we can wade in, a volleyball court, and is conveniently located near a really neat beach on lake
michigan called Meinert Park.
FUN EVENT: Tubing/Canoeing/Kayaking down the White River on Saturday afternoon.
COSTS: The only mandatory fees this year are the site fees of $9.00/night per person, so $9.00 for 1 night and $18.00 for both.
The GROW group will be covering the costs of food.
