Mill Creek Camping situated on a spectacular natural is one of the few
remaining family campgrounds still in operation. Recipient of many
awards (including the Keep Michigan Beautiful Award), the campground is
located on 1 mile of shoreline viewing the Straits of Mackinac, Mackinac
Island, and the Mackinac Bridge. So that thousands of families each year
may continue to enjoy its beautiful grounds, the Rogala Brothers are
using innovation and high technology to help keep the campground
profitable. One of the first campgrounds in the state of Michigan to have its own online reservation system, our campground now boasts a high speed WiFi system through out the park. In addition the innovation is in the processing of wastewater, the construction of new buildings, proactively screening incoming campers to check for firewood and hopefully mitigate the threat to it's Ash trees by the Emerald Ash Borer. |

PIRANHA WASTE WATER PROCESSING SYSTEMS This is the system we discussed that we are pioneering for use in the state of Michigan and on the Great Lakes. Our installation and testing of the system is being monitored by the Cheboygan county health department as well as the Department of environmental quality for the state of Michigan. This system combines the of aeration along with the use of beneficial bacteria in order to literally digest sewage into a state that is so purified that the former wastewater is clear. Our success with this system will pave the way for the use of this technology in the state of Michigan. Attached you will find a letter by Robert Kennedy Jr. regarding the success in the efficiency of cost of this system as well as photos and drawings. |

WIND GENERATORS We are exploring the use of wind turbines to generate power for the campground. A leading contender is the Breezy 5.5 for its simplicity, off the shelf components and dependable design. |
