Nightmare At Dearborn!! Where was this??

In Michigan, the city of Dearborn owns a camp in Milford, MI (about 45 min drive from Dearborn - in the country).
Dearborn now has a large middle-eastern community, one of the largest in the country, if not the largest.
Dearborn is also the home of the Ford World Headquarters. Many Ford families lived in Dearborn in the 50's and 60's and a yearly trip to spend a week at Camp Dearborn was a tradition with employees (and residents) of Dearborn. My husband's family went every year for 25 years! The whole extended family would go together, aunts, uncles, cousins.
To be fair to them, I have to say, the group of middle-easterners we camped next to were new to the country and camping together as an extended family the way my husband's family used to do. Their community was just starting to grow in Dearborn and so it was a new experience for us!
We moved, (camp is only for Dearborn residents) and so we never did return to the camp, even though we had hoped to raise our kids in the week-a-year tradition there.
