A Place for Community
A program of TrueNorth Community Services, Camp Newaygo prides itself on being the community’s camp. Along with being a popular location for school trips, community meetings, and weddings, Camp Newaygo hosts events that allow our community to come together and enjoy the outdoors.
Not only do these events give families a fun outing, they also thrive on the community support of local businesses, organizations and individuals. This fall, Camp’s annual, 3-day Halloweekend Festival will come together thanks to donations from local farms of pumpkins and apples, groups decorating spooky cabins throughout October, and plenty of volunteers helping facilitate the fun during the event.
Camp Newaygo hosts Girlfriends’ Getaway – a 3 day retreat the first weekend in both October and May. Local women and folks from across Michigan come to enjoy a weekend of relaxation, activities and great food-thanks to Ridge Catering. Camp features local vendors and businesses by contracting with massage therapists, artists and local fitness instructors – all adding to the experience of the retreat.
With talented staff and excellent facilities, Camp Newaygo also partners with other, local organizations for programs and events. For the second year in a row, Lang Lodge at Camp will be host to the Newaygo County Influential Women in Leadership Luncheon. With on-site catering and staff who excel creating phenomenal experiences, Camp Newaygo makes a great partner for organizations looking for a place to host events, parties and fundraisers. Partnering with the luncheon specifically also aligns with Camp Newaygo’s mission to “continue (their) tradition of supporting opportunities for girls and women.”
These are just a few of the many community events that Camp Newaygo hosts. If you are interested in getting involved in your community at Camp Newaygo as a community supporter, contracted vendor, or participant, you can learn more at campnewayg.org/events or contact Scott at slakin@campnewaygo.org.
