The Department of Natural Resources announced today that P.H. Hoeft State Park will host two "GO-Get Outdoors" Co-Ed Volleyball tournaments on July 26 and Aug. 9.
Visitors are invited to the beach volleyball pit area to challenge each others' volleyball skills. The volleyball pits are located in the sandy dunes located along the Lake Huron shoreline. Teams must have a minimum of four players, as game play will be 4-on-4. All skill levels are welcome.
Interested teams may sign-up for the events by calling the park at 989-734-2543 or they can stop by the campground office for a registration sheet. Teams must be registered by July 24 for the July 26 tournament and Aug. 7 for the Aug. 9 tournament. A "last chance" sign-up will take place from 8:30-9 a.m. on the days of the events, if there is room on the schedule.
