Camp Dearborn’s official summer season rolls to an end this coming week with the camp’s End of Summer Bash on Labor Day weekend.

Over Labor Day weekend, a live band will once again help campers rock through the last official days of the season at Camp Dearborn, and roll right into fall activities.

The band, to be announced, will perform 7:30 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 2 at the popular Canteen Dance.

While the official camping season traditionally ends with an End of Summer Bash on Labor Day weekend, the Camp office changes gears to the welcome the fall camping crowd.

Dearborn officials say the Labor Day Weekend tent and cabin reservations are expected to be fully booked, but campers can call ahead to reserve a campsite for the following weeks at either of the Camp offices: Dearborn Recreation and Parks Department at 313-943-2350 or Milford Camp Office at 248-684-6000.

With plenty of warm days left following Labor Day, many campers opt for the quieter setting, pleasant afternoon swims and cooler evenings of September and October.

Camp offices begin taking 2012 hayride reservations September 20 for groups, and this year, Camp will host three Halloween Weekends filled with family fun and activity. RV sites, tents and cabins remain open for camping through October.
