Please read about the Manistee River Trail before continuing to register.

This is the most rustic camp offered by HFM. Participants will be responsible for carrying all of their own food, clothing, and supplies for the entire week. This trip is completely rustic and our shelter is the tent or hammock we carry with us. We will ONLY be near the outhouse when we first arrive and right before we leave. Drinking water will be obtained by filtering water. There is very limited cell coverage. Communication with emergency services is available through a satellite transmitter.
As a social service health agency, HFM believes community and patient safety is a top priority. To ensure community members remain safe and healthy while attending HFM Eagle Journeys camping programs, HFM may require health screenings or tests prior to camp. Please self-monitor for symptoms and refrain from attending Eagle Journeys events if you are experiencing any signs of illness.
