Join us for an unforgettable afternoon and evening exploring the breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and winding down at Empire Beach!

We’ll start our adventure with a scenic drive or hike to one of the overlooks along Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, offering panoramic views of Lake Michigan and the surrounding landscape.

As the evening sets in, we will enjoy a meal at a local restaurant and then we’ll head to Empire Beach, a beautiful spot to relax, play games, and enjoy the sunset over Lake Michigan. Bring a blanket, take a swim, or just soak in the peaceful atmosphere as the sky turns shades of orange and pink.

This is the perfect opportunity to experience Michigan’s natural beauty, make memories with your J1TC friends, and enjoy a classic Northern Michigan sunset as your summer wraps up!
