Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of campers and the Istock Family, the new dining hall became a reality and has had a huge impact on Camp and campers. The familiar tradition of camp—enhanced by the little things like the Swirlberry machine, the new Mongolian bar, the dressing room in the Camp store, and big things like outdoor covered seating, more indoor seating, improved kitchen equipment, and better ventilation—made the Michigania Commons a resounding success.
This was all made possible by dedicated campers whose gifts not only helped make 2010 a remarkable summer but have given camp a gift that will last for future generations of campers. With your help, the vision became a reality, and campers were able to enhance their camp experience with great food in a great atmosphere.
Istock Challenge
