Materials in the collection include student applications, correspondence, publicity, planning documents, collected literature, materials specific to Mill Lake Camp in Chelsea Michigan, and slides from the Mill Lake Camp site taken by Leonard Menzi. The committee helped to facilitate a relationship with Mill Lake Camp, a summer camp for youth, to place MSNC students as camp counselors, and as a space for week long immersion in outdoor education.
