Trailer site use serves an important function in supporting the various youth, cultural, religious, recreational and other programs and events occurring at Garezers by providing convenient accommodations for participants, family members, volunteers and program or event supporters.

Ownership & Use of Trailer Site: Trailer sites are owned by Garezers, and the privilege of occupying a site is subject to the terms, conditions and fees established by Garezers. Site occupants have no ownership in the site, and no right to assign, sublease, transfer or otherwise convey occupancy rights to another party except as noted in this document. It is the intent of Garezers that granting the right to use trailer sites is for the mutual benefit of the Camp and Trailer owner and not just a recreational camping site.

Any other cutting [or an alteration of terrain] around trailers must have the advanced written approval of the administrator.
- Termination: If you do not wish to use the site and/or renew your lease, you must inform Garezers immediately and make your site available to the next person on the wait list.
- Vacating Premises: Moving out and vacating the leased trailer site is the responsibility of the trailer owner. The trailer owner is responsible for the removal of any, and all structures, additions, septic systems and other items on the trailer site, in line with requirements set by the State of Michigan and Garezers.
- Trailer Ownership: When a trailer owner decides to not renew his trailer site lease and would like to sell his trailer “on the Garezers trailer-site”: The Administrator will specify a time duration to facilitate the sale (by owner) of his trailer to the next party (buyer) on the waiting list. Should the owner and buyer be unable to agree on the sale price of the existing trailer, but the buyer is interested in the trailer site, the trailer will be considered unwanted and the owner will be responsible for immediate removal of his trailer from the Garezers trailer-site.
- Abandoned Trailers: When a trailer owner does not remove an unwanted trailer before a deadline specified by the Administrator, or if a trailer owner does not respond to inquiry of an unused, derelict or otherwise unwanted trailer, the trailer will be considered abandoned. The abandoned trailer will be removed by Garezers at the trailer owners expense.
- Revocation: Garezers has the right to revoke a trailer site lease for not abiding by these policies and guidelines. Trailer site leasers who do not sign and return this document with their lease payment by the start of the season will be considered in violation of their agreement with Garezers and are subject to forfeiture of all considerations and possible eviction.

Garezers – Trailer Site “Wait List”
Purpose: The “Wait List” consists of individuals who would like to lease a Garezers trailer site. This section summarizes the guidelines and process under which Garezers administers the Wait List. It may be revised at any time, when deemed necessary by Garezers.
__________________________________________
Question 1: How can someone get on the Wait List?
Answer 1: Eligibility is open to individuals who are at least 21 years of age and are members in good standing of a Garezers shareholder organization. To be on the wait list, Garezers must receive a written request, along with a non-refundable check deposit to Garezers for $200. Those currently on the Wait List will need to meet eligibility requirements. This deposit will be used as part of the trailer site lease when you have been granted a trailer site. Garezers administration maintains the official Wait List.
__________________________________________
Question 2: What does being on the Wait List provide?
Answer 2: A place holder on the list, by chronological date order of the request and associated deposit. This place holder provides the individual the opportunity to lease an available Garezers trailer site, based upon the process further described below.
__________________________________________
Question 3: What is the process to obtain a trailer site?
Answer 3: Garezers automatically offers renewals of trailer sites to the individuals who had leased the previous year. Occasionally, these individuals may choose not to renew and their trailer site becomes available.
- When a trailer site becomes available, the 1st person on the Wait List is contacted and offered the trailer site.
- If the Wait List individual is interested in the site and the site has an existing trailer which the owner is willing sell, the individual may purchase the existing trailer if the price is acceptable leaving the trailer in place.
- Should the Wait List individual be interested in the site, but not the trailer, regardless of reason, the owner of the existing trailer must remove the trailer from the site.
- If the 1st Wait List individual does not wish to lease the available trailer site, they may pass. The available trailer site will be offered to the 2nd name on the Wait List, and so on until the trailer site is accepted. Any Wait List individual who chooses to pass on an available trailer site retains his place on the list.
- Garezers has no obligation to assist or otherwise intervene with individuals vacating or obtaining trailer sites.
