Camp Daggett Adventure Center located on beautiful Walloon Lake offers custom designed team building programs that enable participants to:

Twenty-two kayakers participated in the 4th Annual Kayak for a Cause on Walloon Lake event on July 21st and 22nd, 2012 raising much needed scholarship dollars for students to participate in programs at the Camp Daggett Adventure Center (CDAC).  The annual event continues to grow each year since Karen Marietti, Director of CDAC, made the two day paddle solo four years ago.

15 kayakers paddled the entire 30 miles of Walloon Lake shoreline while 7 kayakers completed their journey after 15 miles.  "My husband and I had a blast kayaking.  We met such wonderful people and the lake was amazing, despite the headwinds.  We can't wait until next year", said Robin Ruzicska and Dan Gabbert from Harrison Township.

The team was supported by pledges, sponsors and the 40 Walloon Lake residents who purchased and displayed the Kayak for a Cause on Walloon Lake dock flags, helping to raise over $7,000.

Camp Daggett Outdoor Adventure
Participants can challenge themselves on a three-sided, 40-foot climbing tower with six attached high ropes-course elements designed and built by Project Adventure in a beautiful wooded setting at Camp Daggett. A group problem solving initiative course, tucked in the woods near the nature pond, contains more than ten different elements and provides opportunities for leadership, cooperation and accomplishment.

A challenge course program at the Camp Daggett Adventure Center promotes feelings of acceptance, self-worth and a sense of community not often experienced in our every day living.  It is hoped that participants will be more willing to accept the opinions and ideas of others as well as sharing their own, better appreciate that all people have value and be more willing to participate in peaceful solutions to problem solving.

Low Ropes Elements/Course
During the morning portion of a traditional program at the Camp Daggett Adventure Center, participants encounter a time of fun get-to-know-you games, icebreakers, and team building activities.  These games and activities are utilized to help participants get comfortable with their new environment and the rest of their teammates, as well as to encourage them to start problem solving, work together, support one another and think “outside of the box.”
