Trail's Edge Camp

Trail's Edge Camp Trail's Edge Camp
For Ventilator Dependent Children Trail’s Edge Camp is staffed by volunteers and funded through donations.

This ambitious accomplishment of caring provides a five-day, five-night summer camp experience for campers who are ventilator-dependent and medically fragile. The location of camp is at The Fowler Center for Outdoor Learning, a beautiful barrier-free camp on 200 acres in Mayville, Michigan. This beautiful facility sits beside a natural inland lake which makes boating, fishing and swimming an impor

tant part of the fun for campers. In addition, there is horseback riding, archery, tree climbing and the Craig Van Laanen Tree House, a structure designed to be accessible to campers, no matter what their disability. The tree house is nestled in the woods 25 feet off the ground and there is a place for campers to leave their wheelchairs behind as they enter the canopy of the trees to hang out with friends.

TEC family came together this weekend to celebrate the life of Dick Flowers that left us in May 2025. We walked down memory lane of building the treehouse all those weekends in 2002-2004, visited with Chief the horse (former The Fowler Center for Outdoor Learning program horse), and reminisced about how camp changes campers and volunteers lives forever.

We are 6 weeks away from the start of camp AND it's National Volunteer Week, so a great time to shout-out our dedicated team of volunteers. There are no paid positions and it takes a team to be camper partners/mentors, medical staff, activities, and kitchen. Everyone gives a week (or more to prepare/plan!) of their time and even the director is willing to participate in camp shenanigans πŸ˜‰.
