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.
