Camp Kellogg
Free, fun camp for kids to experience nature
Any Boy Scout or Cub Scout troop can come here and camp free of charge.”
— Jim Gelinas, Camp Ranger
Edward and June Kellogg had a passion for scouting. They led and donated to Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops for many decades, providing equipment for the scouts’ community service projects. In 2003, they realized their lifelong dream by founding Camp Kellogg, a free, fun camp for kids who aren’t able to go camping and experience nature.
Their 230-acre retreat in Kalkaska, funded solely by the foundation, is managed by the Kalkaska Methodist Church. Open year-round, the camp has 10 tent sites, indoor bathrooms, heated showers, and multi-use pavilions; new features are added each year. Two cabins let parents enjoy their stay while their kids are at camp.
The foundation has also partnered with the Boy Scouts of America for more than a decade and purchased a new trailer for Troop 336 in Fowlerville. The new trailer provides storage for tents, travel kitchens, dining areas, and scout gear for camping adventures.
