Holland State Park - September 13-14, 2026

Join Michigan Cares for Tourism as we head to Holland, MI for a volunteer experience, learning about and giving to Holland State Park, Holland’s iconic Dutch heritage and stunning Lake Michigan beaches. Located on beautiful Lake Michigan, the State Park is best known for sugar sand beaches, beautiful sunsets and views of the iconic “Big Red” lighthouse. The park is home to two large campgrounds, an accessible playground, opportunities for paddling and fishing, and connections to nonmotorized trails. We’ll explore all Holland has to offer on Sunday, September 13 during four curated fam tours from local organizers before gathering at Dutch Village for our welcome reception. On Monday, September 14, we’ll gather for a full day of work restoring this historic State Park before we celebrate the day with the sunset over Lake Michigan.  …and that’s just the beginning! Register below to be part of this fantastic event!

Be A Volunteer

The FAM Tours! We provide volunteers a number of activities to participate in the day before our project work begins. Our volunteers have the opportunity to experience the local arts, culture, outdoor adventures, culinary options and enjoy sightseeing the local area.

Make An Impact

Based on the work required at the project site and the preferences of the volunteers during registration, we break into groups and work hard for 6-8 hours. Work could include painting, landscaping, brush clearing, trail maintenance, building bird feeders or benches or constructing fences or signage posts.
