The Fish Lake dorms offer comfortable beds and bathroom facilities but you will need to bring:
    -sleeping bag and pillow...there are beds, just no sheets
    -towels and toiletries...the showers are hot, just no linens

Plan to arrive at KEEC Fish Lake after 3pm Saturday but preferably before dinner time, 7pm.  You should also bring a red-filtered flashlight and warm clothing (in spite of the summer temperatures it can get cool at night).  June's weather tends to favor clear skies though we make no guarantee that it will be -we will be there rain or shine!  If clear, several telescopes from 4 to 14 inches of aperture (or larger) will be available to look through.  Optional items to bring might include your own telescope (not necessary to have one), binoculars, camera, snack stuff, pop, etc.

We will enjoy a delicious Saturday evening pizza meal at 7 pm, observe through the night, catch a few hours sleep in the cozy dorm - all for only $20 !  Make sure you check-in with Mr. Vance near the kitchen area (see map) upon arrival. Only registered guests are allowed on the grounds so be sure to print and bring a completed registration form with you. Email Mr Vance at nvance@emich.edu of your intent to attend BEFORE coming to KEEC. This trip is open to anyone with an interest in astronomy ( KEEC does have a limited capacity of 60 persons ).   Fish Lake has been a fun and enjoyable experience for EMU's introductory astronomy students for many years....it's meant to be fun for all, from novice to veteran observers.

To reach Fish Lake, take US-23 / I-75 to I-69, east to Lapeer, MI, or M-24 to Daley Rd. (just 1 mile north out of Lapeer). 3 miles east on Daley Rd. and 1 mile north on Fish Lake Rd just past Vernor Rd.. Our site is located at the east end of KEEC's service drive...look for the green EMU KEEC sign at the dirt drive entrance. Drive SLOWLY up the service drive with parking lights only if arriving after dark. Print out the available map for reference.
