Camp Newaygo
Because every child should have a safe place to grow into their best self.
Camp Newaygo is a year-round program, conference, and retreat facility. Our Girls’ Overnight Camp was founded in 1926. We offer summer programs, year-round rentals, community events, and innovative family programs on our beautiful 104 acres.
In 2002, Jane Vitek returned to Camp as full time Camp Director and continues to this day. Jane joined camp as a camp counselor in 1975, served as the program director from 1978-1990, and served on the Camp Committee until camp was sold.
Realizing that camp could not survive without year-round operations, Jane worked diligently to put a business plan in place to reach that goal. In 2005, Hunting Lodge was renovated and turned into a year-round residence for the overnight camp director/camp staff.
Acquisition of 2.2 acres of property adjacent to the wetland occurred in 2008 which provided contiguous property opportunities and a ranch house that could serve as year round staff dwelling.
In 2008, Jane led a 3.2 million dollar capital campaign to renovate, winterize and expand Lang Lodge into a year round facility. This brought the camp staff offices into Lang Lodge, as well as incorporated new bathhouse and shower facility and four small dormitories. Unfortunately, Council Rock was demolished as a part of this process.
