Come and discover Boyne City in beautiful northwest Michigan.
Located on the shores of Lake Charlevoix, Boyne City is a great place to live, work and play. It has a historic downtown, a strong and diverse economic base, and offers wonderful recreational opportunities for boating, skiing, hiking, biking, canoeing, and kayaking.
Other great attractions are Boyne Mountain, the premier ski resort in the Upper Midwest, just a few miles away, the beautiful Boyne River, Avalanche Park, and a waterfront recreation area of more than 11 acres.
9th Annual Boyne Thunder
Speed, excitement and smiles return to northern Michigan for the eighth annual Boyne Thunder Poker Run on July 13 and 14, 2012 in beautiful Boyne City. This unique boating event showcases high performance boats, some sporting several thousand horsepower, slicing through the waters of Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan on a 90-mile excursion.
In addition to a great event in a beautiful area, what has made Boyne Thunder special is its relationship with Camp Quality, a non-profit organization that provides special experiences and support for children with cancer. The goal of Camp Quality is to allow children with cancer to be children again, facilitate experiences and friendships, and provide confidence for these special children and their families in a way that matters. Since it began, Boyne Thunder has raised more than $220,000 for Camp Quality and it has become an important part of the camp's success.

Our Purpose and Our Partner
Camp Quality – Letting kids with cancer be kids
Camp Quality is a summer camping experience and year-round support program for children with cancer. Many difficult physical and emotional challenges face a child, and his or her family, when battling cancer. At our summer camps we have developed an important type of "therapy"… we like to call it Smile Therapy! With a laugh in their hearts and smiles on their faces, Camp Q. Kids find themselves capable of more than they may have dreamed possible.
