VFW CAMP TROTTER

FOR CHILDREN

The camp includes summer activities on site such as 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, nature and are 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.

WHERE NATURE AND

PATRIOTISM MEET.

Memories to last a lifetime

Remember those summers, spending time at the lake and seeing old friends when

you went to summer camp? Share those same memories with your child as they spend a week away at the VFW Camp

Trotter for Children.

Let them explore the outdoors on beautiful Bills Lake in Newaygo,

Michigan. The camp has lots to offer children ages 7 – 12 years old with

activities that introduce them, not only to the outdoors, but also to arts and science.
