Across the Bridge

Some of the deepest divides are right here at home.

Our Across the Bridge program is a great way to adventure into something different without even leaving the state.

We take 5 to 8 Grand Haven/Spring Lake residents and 5 to 8 Muskegon residents and provide the opportunity to spend 3 days and 2 nights immersed in each other’s culture.

We recognize that the drawbridge is not just a physical barrier between the two communities, but a symbol of the great cultural divide that exists between them, particularly as we explore racial division and the very different landscape each presents in terms of racial and ethnic diversity and inclusion.

Who Should go?

  • People curious about the other side of the bridge who don’t normally spend time there.

  • Thought leaders who can encourage others to make the trip in the future.
