There’s something timeless about an ice cream cone. Whether it’s the first bite of a summer afternoon treat or the simple joy of choosing a favorite flavor, ice cream reminds us that small pleasures can brighten an entire day.

But at the Inn at Stonecliffe, even the smallest choices can create ripples of impact. When you order an ice cream from our General Store, the profits could provide a set of pencils, pens, and a notebook for a student in Cameroon to use throughout the school term.

For many children, these aren’t just supplies—they’re stepping stones. A notebook becomes the place where they practice math problems, copy down stories, or sketch out their dreams. A pencil lets them take notes in class, while a pen gives them the confidence to complete exams. These simple tools open the door to participation, progress, and possibility.

Enjoy that sweet moment of happiness on a Mackinac summer afternoon: it might be more life-changing than you think.
