National Day of Hayo-Hiking
Hayo-Hike Day Is Going National (and International!)
On April 25, the Hayo-Went-Ha Camps community will be gathering across the country, and even around the world, for National Hayo-Hike Day. From coast to coast, alumni, families, and friends are coming together to get outside, reconnect, and celebrate the camp spirit.
Each hike is uniquely led by members of our alumni community and reflects the love of connection that defines Hayo-Went-Ha camps. You are welcome to join a Hayo-Hike in your area. It is a great opportunity to share stories, build connections, and celebrate camp.
No matter where you are, you can be part of Hayo-Hike Day. Join a local hike, gather a few friends of your own, or simply spend time outside and share your experience with the camp community. This is a great way to honor Earth Day and the official kick off of the Summer Dreams Campership and Equipment Drive that will launch on April 22nd.
We can’t wait to see photos and stories from across the country and beyond as we celebrate together on April 25.
