Ha has 105 years of tradition and experience to provide incredible adventures campers

the essence of the camping experence. Boys learn to work together, to support each other
and to respect what each member of the cabin has to offer. The wonderful variety of
camp trips reinforce the value of teamwork.
Camp Hayo-Went-Ha offers age appropriate adventure programs that last either two
or four weeks. Meet the challenge of extended canoeing and hiking trips to Michigan’s
north country, the Canadian wilderness or biking the wooded hills of the Upper Pen-
insula, all the while learning to appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. Live amongst
tall pines and white birches, visit Buell Chapel and be a part of the great spirit that makes
YMCA Camp Hayo-Went-Ha a special place.
