Celebrating 100 Years of Camp Daggett

Since 1925, Camp Daggett has been a beacon of growth and adventure, starting as a boys’ summer camp on the shores of Walloon Lake. Established by Walter J. MacMillan and supported by Harriet S. Harper's donation of land, the camp's mission has remained steadfast: to provide character-building experiences in a safe and inclusive environment. Despite challenges like the Great Depression and WWII, Camp Daggett has thrived, offering innovative programs, expanding facilities, and adapting to community needs.

For 100 years, Camp Daggett has been a place of adventure, growth, and lifelong memories. We’ve welcomed generations of campers, families, and community members to our shores, fostering connections to nature and each other. As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we invite you to join us in reflecting on our rich history, celebrating the present, and looking forward to the future.

  • I can still remember the first time I arrived at Camp Daggett. I truly had no idea how significantly it would shape who I am today. I find it more than a summer camp, but rather a place I found myself, my second home.

  • I attended Camp Daggett from 1956-1959 and look back at those days with fond memories. There is where I learned to swim, experienced overnight canoeing and camping trips, and forged lifelong friendships.
