Camp Daggett is pleased to announce that it has received a $2,738.63 donation from Odawa Casino's Spare Change Program, a guest-driven charitable initiative that gives casino patrons an opportunity to support local nonprofit organizations.

The Spare Change Program supports local nonprofits serving communities in Emmet, Cheboygan, and Charlevoix counties. Eligible organizations demonstrate a commitment to strengthening the community through programs that promote education, health, social services, environmental stewardship, inclusion, and community building.

Camp Daggett will use the funds to support its mission of providing meaningful experiences that help young people build confidence, develop teamwork and leadership skills, and connect with the outdoors.

Starting in Summer 2027, Camp Daggett is introducing a new format for 15-year-olds interested in being a Camp Aide. We are excited to share information on what this program will look like, how to apply and associated fees.

The Camp Aide leadership program is the first step to working at Camp Daggett! This two-week long program will consist of three pillars: leadership, service to camp, and camper experience. The Leadership pillar focuses on all the skills that Camp Aides will need to become effective CITs and Counselors. The Service to Camp pillar focuses on the behind-the-scenes aspects of working at Camp. Finally, camp isn't complete without fun! The Camper Experience pillar makes sure that Camp Aides spend part of each day participating in camp activities.

Individuals interested in becoming a Camp Aide will fill out an application and will interview with Camp Daggett Leadership Team members. The two-week Camp Aide leadership program has an associated cost of $650. This covers three meals a day from check-in to check-out, snacks, staff associated with the program, and any special events/weekend fun activities planned for the Camp Aides. Scholarships for the Camp Aide program are available for all applicants, with more details being shared soon.

We are also excited to introduce a new offering coming for 2027: Mini Camp! This program is designed for campers ages 6-11 who have never experienced overnight camp before but are interested in seeing what all the fun is about. Campers will rotate through the six overnight camp activity areas and will participate in two full days of programming and one half day of activities at Camp Daggett, staying in cabins and getting a taste of what Overnight Camp is all about.
