How the Motor City & Friends Canoe Trips Started
Info Provided by Steve Schang...
This year was the 35th year of the Motor City & Friends Camping/Canoe Trip. 
It began 35 years ago by Gary Thomason; It started out with 14 people who
just wanted to go Canoeing over the weekend.  We all had so much fun that we
decided to invite more people the following year, it grew and grew.  I took
over the responsibility of “Camp Counselor”, putting the Camping/Canoe Trip
together. We have had as much as a 100 people going camping /canoeing, and
we started staying Monday through Sunday instead of just the weekend. The
group was Adults only, no children under the age of 18 yrs old. We go to
White’s Canoe Livery in Sterling, Michigan (about 2 ½ hr drive); it is owned
by Ladd & Pam White.
A group of us still go each year, and now it has become a family event, with
children & animals welcomed.  It is a week of stress release, relaxation,
fun, story telling and having a chance to see old friends.

The 2018 Motor City & Friends Camping / Canoe Trip on July 15th through July 21st
was our 35^th year and it was also my last year as “Camp Counselor”. 
Moving on to new adventures, but never forgetting the friends I have made over the years,
and all the fun and adventures / misadventures I had over the past 35 years. 

Thanks to everyone for making my time as “Camp Counselor” entertaining………………………
