Camp Michigania
Private
Camp Michigania is the University of Michigan Alumni Association's family camp, on 377 acres along Walloon Lake between Petoskey and Boyne City. Families stay a week in private one- and two-bedroom cabin units with their own bath, and the all-inclusive fee covers three chef-prepared meals a day plus activities for all ages across roughly 11 weeks of summer programming. Attendance is open to Alumni Association members and their families, so children attend with a parent rather than enrolling individually.

Powered by GoogleWonderful experience for all ages. Great opportunity to try horseback riding and high ropes!
I went to Camp Michigania for the Bear River Writers Conference. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and diligent, particularly the dining hall staff. I was surprised by the quality and variety of the food served there. The grounds are beautiful and though I spent most of my time in writing workshops and attending readings, I could tell that there were plenty of other activities in and around Lake Walloon.
Visited to check out their ability to host a wedding and it looks wonderful including beautiful settings for a ceremony, meals other than the main reception, the accommodations for guest to stay, and activities.
It's been ok for the last 47 years but I'm not convinced yet. I'll need another decade or so to be sure. Check in at 50. Still ok. I'll let you know when when I'm sure.
How could I not give this 5 stars.... I've been going to camp michigania on and off since 1963 and it has always been a wonderful experience. my last six times going I've traveled from California with my family and even with airfare find it a great value. The staff is the best!
