Please use the North entrance at 1189 NE Torch Lake Dr, Central Lake, MI 49622. You will enter, follow the drive past the garage, and park in front of the Dowe building. On the first day, staff and signs will be posted to guide you.
Arrival
The day camp program starts at 9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, but families can start arriving as early as 8:30 a.m. each morning.
Our staff will greet you and your camper and invite them to an activity station until the program starts. If time allows, this can be a good time to get to know our staff; however, during busy arrival times, staff will be focused on welcoming campers.
So that the program can start, we ask that families depart soon after dropping off their campers. A smooth family departure will help younger campers adapt to the program more quickly.
Pick-Up
The day camp program concludes at 4:30 pm, we ask that families plan to pick up their campers no later than 5:00 pm.
Check-out is mandatory for all campers. To be sure that we are releasing all campers to the appropriate caregivers, all families must check out with us – showing a government-issued photo ID – before leaving camp with their camper.
If someone other than the primary caregiver (as indicated in your account) is picking up your camper, we cannot release them without your permission. Please make sure that they are listed as an authorized pickup and know to bring a government-issued photo ID.
Early Pick-Up and Departure
We can accommodate early pick-ups with advance notice. Camp Hayo-Went-Ha is a large camp and we ask for your patience in the event that you need to pick your camper up early on short notice. Please contact us.
