Beachcombers & Rockhounds

Beachcombers & Rockhounds Family Weekend or 1 Day

Join us at Camp Cavell for a fun weekend of beachcombing and rockhounding on Lake Huron! Did you know that Michigan is home to the most varieties of stones in the world, including the highly sought after Puddingstone?  

Bring your family and friends to spend the weekend going on a natural treasure hunt, exploring the shores of Lake Huron for those special rocks, pieces of beach glass, shells and fossils. If you’re lucky you may even stumble across an elusive artifact from one of Michigan’s many shipwrecks; including the Kate Richmond right on the shore of Camp Cavell!
