he inaugural season of the Fresh Air Society's
Grand Resort at Mullet Lake has scored a hit
with families. This summer, they've experienced
Jewish programming, kosher food, renovated
individual cabins, arts and crafts, nature, togetherness and
a sandy waterfront to go water-skiing, fishing, kayaking,
sail-boarding and swimming.
Families enjoy playing together, but adults and chil-
dren at Grand Resort also have separate program-
ming, which allows freedom for everyone. The high
ratio of counselors to children keeps both groups
happy.
The 18-acre resort, which first opened in the
1930s as Silver Lodge, is on Mullett Lake about 25
miles from Mackinac Island. The property was given
to the United Jewish Foundation by Nancy and
Stephen Grand of Bloomfield Township to be operat-
ed by the Fresh Air Society and used in its Maddin
Family Camps program.
For information about next season, call (248) 647-
1100.

counselors.
