The Athens Camp, in Michigan, is a newly acquired property and is located in the southern part of Michigan, south of Battle Creek. The 70-acre property has a pleasant setting with a river running through it, flat land and numerous shade trees. This property can be used for panning, highbanking and metal detecting. Due to the Glacier deposits, you will find fine gold to small nuggets, possible fossils and precious metals. The town of Athens is just a half mile from camp. There you will find a gas station, restaurants and stores. There are no facilities at this camp, but full-time caretakers are presently on site. Plans for the future include water, restrooms, showers, clubhouse, as well as full hook ups. All campers must be self-contained.
