Two of our Owasippe admin have had an eventful spring! Wolverine Camp Director, Joe Vitti, and Wolverine Program Director, Katie Hogan both have had weddings this spring surrounded by plenty of scouters. Pictured are the Owasippe camp staff at both events. Congrats!!

This kitchen is due for a glow up! After a winter of paint scraping, paint scraping, shuffling equipment, and even more paint scraping, we're prepped for a fresh coat of paint in the food preparation center.

Have you ridden OSRs bike trails? Show us photos of your group, or of your favorite views from our ride at OSR in the comments!

When scouts are not camping at OSR, many others use this beautiful property year round to mountain bike. The bike trail system is maintained by dedicated volunteers, and the bike trails are among the favorite of Michigan riders - from pro mountain bikers to youth clubs and individuals. This summer, OSR is inviting our trail users to camp with us for two additional weeks during our summer camp program when the trails are typically closed!

Participate in "Reneker's Single Track Summer". Hit the trails, dip in the pool, and bring the whole family for camp activities. Youth clubs are welcome to host their own training sessions and activities while on site!
