HAYES TOWNSHIP ACQUIRES CAMP SEAGULL
After 2-1/2 years of soliciting grants and private donations, Hayes Township finally acquired ¼ mile of pristine Lake Charlevoix that was known for 60 years as Camp Sea Gull.
Most of the funds came from the State Land Trust Fund, thanks to the Little Traverse Conservancy’s assistance in the grant process, along with many township donors, big and small, interested in seeing this parcel remain undeveloped and for the public to enjoy.
The Camp, formerly owned and operated by the Schulman family for 60 years, was offered for sale through Prudential Preferred Properties Realtors when the discussions with the township were initiated. The culmination of diligent efforts and cooperation by those involved has resulted in a once in a lifetime opportunity for Hayes Township residents, summed up by the seller’s quote in a recent press release. “Camp Sea Gull has been a part of the Schulman family since 1955, exposing families and children to our beautiful northern Michigan outdoors. That legacy can now continue indefinitely under the township’s stewardship.”
