BEAVER ISLAND COMMUNITY CENTER
At the Heart of a Great Community!
Come one and all to the Beaver Island Community Center where Island residents and visitors come together to share food, fun, information, activities, movies, entertainment, community events and the arts!
The Beaver Island Community Center is home to the Beaver Island Senior Center (through the Charlevoix County Commission on Aging), and the Preservation Association of Beaver Island (PABI), a non-profit organization working to preserve the historical landmarks, architectural character, natural environment and cultural traditions that distinguish Beaver Island from the mainland. Recreated on the site of-and in the spirit of-the old “Dockside Market”, the Community Center was the first special project of PABI.
Located across from the Ferry dock in the heart of downtown St. James, the Beaver Island Community Center invites all residents and visitors to come experience and enjoy everything we have to offer!
