Let’s take a road trip across the great Mitten State to wrap up Summer Discover 2023!
Pick up a passport at any JDL location from July 21-31 and start making your way around the district to explore all 13 Michigan destinations represented at the branches.
Visit 3 locations to earn a frisbee, visit 7 locations to earn a pair of sunglasses and visit 10 locations to earn a drawstring bag.
Activities will be available until 30 minutes before each location closes during the week of the Wrap-Up Tour.
