Lodging options

The warm-hearted OCA families of Michigan are opening their homes and inviting visitors to stay with them without charge. They do ask, however, that all guests bring their own bedding and towels. This option will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. When the spaces fill up, they are filled. All others will be responsible for finding their own lodging.

Meals

Once again our Michigan OCA families are rising to the occasion to provide all meals. Meal costs are covered with the registration fee.

Cost summary

Registration: $15 per adult per day (ages 13 and up); $9 per child per day (ages 3 - 12);

FREE for infants (ages 0 - 2)

NOTE: Thursday does not count as a chargeable day.

Lodging: FREE (if staying with an OCA host family)

Belle Isle Conservancy: $11 per car (do not pay OCA for this cost. Each car will pay its own fees upon arrival at Belle Island.)

Adventist Historic Site: FREE (There is a gift shop with a nice collection of old and new SDA books, DVDs, and souvenirs.)

What to bring

Light jackets, good walking shoes, sleeping bags, pillows, towels, personal hygiene toiletries, Bibles, hymnals, musical instruments, cameras, and a happy spirit.
