History
In 1922 Walter J MacMillan was hired as the physical education teacher at Petoskey High School. Part of the duties as teacher was to run a boys summer camping program. In 1923 MacMillan held a ten-day boys camp south of present day Camp Daggett on Walloon Lake. In 1924 another ten-day boys camp was held, this time north of present day Camp Daggett. In 1925 Camp Daggett opened as a boys camp. The land was a gift from the Daggett Family.
In a Quit-Claim Deed dated 22 September 1924, the parcel in Charlevoix County, Michigan described as "Lot four, less five acres off the north side thereof, of section twenty-one, in township thirty-four north of range six west" was deeded to be held for a camp and it would be known as "Daggett Camp".
