After being closed for a year due to COVID-19, the Department of Natural Resources’ Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center in Roscommon is reopening its doors to families, individuals or small groups of up to two households to “Lodge and Learn” with the center’s lodging and outdoor and education opportunities.
The center is not yet open for conferences and large groups.
With rustic lodging and modern meeting space, the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center – known as the RAM Center – combines the fun of summer camp with lodging and conference center facilities.
“Nestled on the northern shore of Higgins Lake, the RAM Center has a legacy of conservation education and offers one of the most distinctive meeting and outdoor experiences in Michigan’s northern woods,” said DNR Parks and Recreation Division Chief Ron Olson. “Now you can enjoy its natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities with your family or small group.”
