Camp Trotter
Camp Trotter is a Children's Camp located 7 miles East of Newaygo on
M-82. The camp sits on the shores of one of west Michigan's beautiful
and picturesque lakes. It is owned and operated by the Department of
Michigan, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. The management
and oversight is carried out by a committee of elected members of the
Michigan VFW, who take pride in keeping the camp in pristine condition
to ensure the comfort and safety of our guests. The camp is fully
licensed and insured with the State of Michigan.
Camp Trotter exists primarily for children of veterans, but is not limited thereto; we offer five weeks of camping to children seven to twelve years old from all over the United States. The camp includes summer activities on site including swimming, boating, hiking, biking, arts and crafts, archery, softball, volleyball, as well as campfire activities. The children are given a general knowledge of science, art, and nature, and taught patriotism, courage, self reliance and kindred virtues. We try to further instill upon our campers morals and values by combining educational activities with fun, our goal is to guide and assist our youth to build a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
