Camp Daggett on Walloon Lake - Northern Michigan Camp

Nestled on the west arm of beautiful Walloon Lake in Northwest Michigan, Camp Daggett has served generations of summer campers since its inception in 1925. Having endured the Depression and the Second World War, Camp's longevity stems from superior staffing, a meaningful motto, a dedicated Board of Trustees, and facilities that have evolved to meet the changing needs of campers over the years.

Honoring Henry Daggett's and Walter MacMillan's emphasis on youth, Camp Daggett has adopted and internalized the following Mission Statement which pervades every aspect of camp activity:

A tradition since 1925 of providing quality character building experiences through educational and recreational programs in a safe, fun environment; serving all ages with an emphasis on youth.

You can do a world of good for kids at Camp Daggett by making a contribution. A gift to Camp will help make available scholarship support for those in need, maintain and improve facilities and recruit talented and dedicated staff. Our beautiful new Indoor Adventure and Activity Center is up and running because of the generous support by so many individuals, businesses, organizations and foundations - a great example of how your gift can make a difference.

Planning for the Future - Would you be interested in helping to support Camp Daggett and receive income for life? Too good to be true? It may seem so, but it is true nonetheless. It is called a Charitable Gift Annuity.

What is it?  It is part gift and part investment. You make a gift to the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation (PHSACF) and they promise to pay you an income for life (the Foundation operates a charitable gift annuity program for the benefit of Camp Daggett and other local non-profit organizations).
