Applications for new campers will be available on the Camp Daggett website only, www.campdaggett.org, beginning February 1. Applications will not be available at area schools or chambers of commerce. These applications will need to be printed and mailed back to camp along with a deposit. Please know that availability is limited and can be checked on our website.
To contact the registrar, families may call the office at 231-347-9742 and dial extension 101, or email julie.guirey@campdaggett.org. The office is open and able to respond Tuesday-Thursday 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
“The Camp Daggett Staff and Board of Trustees thank all of our families for continuing to place your trust in us to provide a fun, meaningful, and safe camping experience for your children,” states Rick Gross, Acting Executive Director. “While we are confident we will be able to hold a camping season in 2021, alterations may need to be made to ensure the safety of your camper and our communities.”
“There may be some slight programming changes, changes to the schedule, or changes to our drop off and pick-up procedures, but campers will still experience what it means to put ‘The Other Fellow First,’” states Nathan Fleshman, Summer Camp Director. “But our staff remains committed to making Camp Daggett the magical place it usually is.”

Letter Drive Organized by Young Professionals Group Surpasses 1,000 Holiday Cards for Seniors |
|
A Northern Michigan young professionals group has collected over 1,000 cards and letters for isolated seniors this holiday season.
Thrive 45 Young Professionals organized a “Heartfelt Holidays” Letter Drive for Seniors from mid-October through mid-December as a way to both engage community members of all ages and to support area elders in senior living centers or nursing homes. The group set a goal of 1,000 letters and encouraged everyone in the Greater Petoskey Area to participate, spreading the word to schools, clubs, nonprofits, and businesses across the region.
“We actually extended the letter drive into December as more and more people reached out to us,” says Jessyca Stoepker (The Manna Food Project), a member of Thrive 45’s Executive Team. “Some organizations used it as part of their holiday giving projects, while we also received lots of colorful drawings from young families.”
The Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce served as a “collection point” for the cards until the drive ended on December 11. After counting them and screening them for appropriateness, and bundling them into several boxes and large envelopes, Thrive 45 board members then dropped the letters off at the Petoskey Friendship Center last Wednesday morning.
