VFW Camp Trotter for Children
Private
VFW Camp Trotter is a nonprofit, state-licensed coed residential camp for children ages 7-12 on Bills Lake in Newaygo County, owned and operated by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Michigan since 1949. Five weeks of camp each summer bring in children from across the country: it exists primarily for children of veterans but is open to military-connected and civilian families alike. Campers swim, boat, hike, bike, do arts and crafts, archery, softball, volleyball and campfire activities.
