Breakfast with Santa

December 14, 2024 | Clare, Michigan

Santa Claus may love cookies and milk, but he also has a soft spot for a hearty breakfast, it seems! And it’s no wonder. With all those visits to make even before Christmas day, the guy needs fuel!

St. Nick is making his way to Camp Rotary – and your family is invited to join him. Can’t make it for breakfast?  No problem!  We’ll be throwing down pancakes through lunch time as well!  Sit down to a holiday meal with the man in red, where kids are guaranteed to have a magical, jolly good time.
