The 2026 Grand Rapids Cadet Council Spring CAMPOREE 

May 2-3, 2026. Click on the black box

Games for the boys in the afternoon,

Above is a link (black rectangle) of the registration form for this spring's camporee held at our campground. Please review it.

We are planning on a community-wide supper again Saturday night as we did 2 years ago. We understand that this summer is an International Camporee year but felt that if you have cadets needing to practice cooking, that could be done Sunday morning. The consensus of the committee was that a community-wide supper would not hinder that.

After supper on Saturday, we have a program we think all will enjoy - a chalk artist and ventriloquist. Rod Snow brings over 40 years of full-time experience as a chalk artist/ ventriloquist who has traveled to many states. He is considered one of the premier chalk artist in the country as well as a very accomplished ventriloquist.  His ministry illustrates Bible truths CREATIVE and FUN ways.  Rod is from Niles, MI and ministry is called "CHALK FOR CHRIST".

Please make sure you register for this event by the deadline or make your arrangements with me by then. The BEST way to communicate with me is by email or a quick text. It's not that I won't answer your phone call, it's more that I don't carry the phone around with me.

If you are not the person who handles this, please pass this on to the one who does.

We look forward to camping and having fellowship with you.

Thanks, Patrick Nagle

Grand Rapids Camporee Committee Chair
