Michigan Out-of-Doors Camp Registrations are Filling Fast

lschultz • April 16, 2021

The excitement is building for summer camp 2021. We are looking forward to the laughter and happiness of campers once again at Cedar Lake. Our Day Camp registration spots are filling quickly. We are currently at about 62% capacity for the summer and many of the spots for our 5-8-year-olds are filled.

The dates for this summer begin June 28 and the final week starts August 2. Each week we will welcome campers ages 5-14 to join us. As always, our program will focus on a variety of themes with an emphasis on engaging kids with nature and building skills. Whether your camp is joining us for one week or the entire summer they will be immersed in a variety of outdoor activities such as fishing, swimming, kayaking, shelter building, fire building, archery, target shooting and so much more.  

For more information, you can browse the camp brochure here  2021 Day Camp Brochure !

If you live in the Chelsea, Jackson, Ann Arbor or Dexter area, this is a perfect opportunity to get your child out of the house and into the outdoors. If your family is planning on spending a week camping in the Waterloo Recreation Area, this would be a great opportunity to send the kids during the day.

We encourage you to register through our online provider CampDoc. You can follow the registration steps on our website,  www.mucccamp.org . 

We also have a few scholarships available through the Connor Shea Memorial Fund. For more information about this scholarship read last week’s blog  HERE .

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact Max Bass at camp@mucc.org.

On the Ground: Jack Pine Planting Day 2026

By Olivia Triltsch • May 7, 2026
On Saturday, May 2, 2026, a group of dedicated volunteers joined Kirtland's Warbler Alliance, Huron Pines, Saginaw Children’s Zoo, and MUCC's OTG program in planting approximately 4,800 jack pine saplings within the Grayling Forest Management Unit in Crawford County. Jack pines are a critical nesting habitat feature for the once-threatened Kirtland’s warbler. In total, volunteers directly impacted about 7 acres of land were prepared by the Michigan DNR for this planting to allow volunteers to maximize their efforts across the land. This is one of our annual events that is perfect for helpers of all ages and interests.

On the Ground: Trees and Trash in Grayling Forest Management Unit

By Olivia Triltsch • April 30, 2026
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, MUCC's On the Ground program partnered with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Ruffed Grouse Society, National Wild Turkey Federation, and Backcountry Hunters and Anglers for a crabapple tree planting and dump site clean-up event in the Grayling Forest Management Unit. Volunteers worked as a team to plant, compost, mulch, and fence 25 eight-foot trees at various locations in Crawford County on the public lands to offer forage for wildlife. Many species, like grouse, turkey, and deer, utilize mast-producing trees for food when other resources are not available. These trees were planted along an old logging road for both game and non-game wildlife, while enhancing the local recreational opportunities. Another group of volunteers branched off to remove trash from three dump sites on public land in Kalkaska County, which included couches, mattresses, shingles, and tires. Volunteers filled a 30-yard dumpster with trash found in the landscape in an attempt to keep the environment better than how it was found while improving future recreational opportunities. In total, volunteers directly enhanced 2.1 acres of wildlife habitat through this project.
