Complete the registration form below or call the office at 517-782-3453 ext. 101 to sign up and pay for your spot.

Our goal is to use our night vision just as our nocturnal creatures do to venture through the night and let our other senses direct us on the trails. Try to wear dark colored\, warm clothes that don’t make noise when you move. \n
