From softball, soccer and volleyball teams to yoga, pilates and archery, the Mackinac Island Recreation Department keeps a very active Island schedule of offerings for summer employees. Join the fun, you don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy some activity and meet new people. Good for your body and soul! For more information and a complete list of activities, please email “send me the schedule” to the departments email or click the button below to connect with their facebook page.

Bicycles…. Rain or shine, you’ll find your bicycle will become your best friend. Be safe. Watch your speed. Drinking and riding don’t mix. Wear a helmet. Check your brake pads at least once during the season and oil that bike chain, your legs will thank you. And don’t neglect riding around the perimeter as often as you can…and get up to Fort Holmes at least once! Trips through the woods particularly in the Fall are spectacular.

Many Island businesses offer employee discounts on activities. Mission Point Resort offers a discount for glow golf, check out Great Turtle Kayak’s specials for kayak tours, and Mackinac Island Carriage Tours may offer a deal for you to ride the famous Carriage Tour if you check at the ticket office- availability based of course. Relax, smile and say thank-you. Most employers love to be especially nice to our “ family” of employees on the Island.
