Camp Tosebo celebrates 100th anniversary in 2012

Camp Tosebo, on Portage Lake in Manistee, Michigan, will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2012.

Founded by Noble Hill, Camp Tosebo was established in 1912 as a private summer camp for the Todd Seminary for Boys in Woodstock, Illinois. The camp attracted boys from all over the country, and even though the Todd School was closed in 1953, the summer camp carried on with its eight-week summer program for another twenty-four years.

The current owners continue to preserve the rich historical tradition of this camp by maintaining its original buildings and conserving the natural beauty of its surroundings.


Former campers are encouraged to visit the Camp Tosebo website, where they can find out how to get in touch with other former campers.

Just by exploring the Camp Tosebo website, it looks like a beautiful setting for a family vacation.
