Michigan State KC Camporee 21
- Tue, Apr 20, 2021 1:26 PM
Brother Knights and Families;
Our 2021 State Camporee is set for Friday, August 13 through Sunday August 15. This year’s event will be held at the Mecosta Pines Campground located at 550 S Talcott St. in Morley, MI.
We have a total of 32 Campsites reserved. Please complete the registration form then, send the form and payment to me by no later than Saturday, June 12 . If you are interested in full hook-up, please contact me at (616)329-0781 to confirm availability before completing the registration form. Remember that sites are first come first serve. Please find the registration form HERE.
For those who do not camp or do not have a camper there are several hotels within 15 miles of the campground, see the list HERE. If you decide to come and stay in a hotel you will need to contact the hotel directly for reservations. Also, if you are staying at a hotel, please complete the registration form so we may include you in updates and make sure to come by my rig to register and get any handouts. Mecosta Pines offers many amenities and activities, plus we will be able to utilize their Outdoor Pavilion and in the event of inclement weather there is an indoor gathering area.
Just to give a few highlights of what we are planning, we will be doing a bean bag toss tournament, potluck, and Mass as we normally do, but we are also looking into the possibility having something for the kiddos, and maybe a wine tasting for the adults. If you have any ideas, please forward them to me at j.baldridge@mikofc.org or if you are interested in helping with any of our events for the Camporee please reach out me, your help will be greatly appreciated.
Ramona and I are planning to arrive at the campground Thursday, August 12th to begin getting things setup and to work with the campground staff. If you are interested in arriving Thursday or extending your stay, please contact me to let me know and contact the campground to make your reservation for the additional days only. Currently the plan is to have a Michigan KC Camper registration setup and have 50/50 raffles, possibly some prizes, give-a-ways, etc.
In years past the Michigan KC Campers hosted the KCIC event and we would love to be able to rebuild the group and get back to where we could bring the International Camporee back to Michigan in the future.
We are looking forward to this year’s Camporee and to rebuilding the Michigan KC Campers group. Lots of additional information to come before, during and after this year’s Camporee, so get your tent or camper ready and let’s make this a Camporee to remember and build on.
Vivat Jesus, Rise Up and Answer the Call!
