Marquette – Registration is open until Monday, May 1 for a summer Family Camp Expedition on Isle Royale, Lake Superior’s largest island, presented by Northern Michigan University’s Seaborg Center. The program runs Sunday, June 25 through Friday, June 30. Karen Bacula, Marquette Area Public Schools teacher and Isle Royale camping veteran, will guide the expedition.
Participants will camp at Fork Wilkins State Park before traveling to Isle Royale for hiking, kayaking and exploration. Evening programs will feature island history, ecology and creative activities. Travelers will kayak to nearby small islands and watch for wildlife along the shore. They will also search for wildflowers and signs of the families who once lived there.
The trip is open to children ages 10 and older. At least one parent, aunt, uncle, guardian or grandparent must accompany each child. The cost is $400 for children ages 10-13 and $475 for 14 and older. Most camping equipment and all meals are provided. There is free time included each day. A pre-trip meeting will take place in early June on a date to be determined.
The Isle Royale Institute and the Ford Center are also sponsoring the expedition. Register by Monday, May 1, at www.regonline.com/isleroyale2017. For more details or questions, contact the Seaborg Center at 906-227-2002.
