Camp New Day U.P. is a free, one-week summer camp for youth ages 9–14 in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula who have been impacted by the incarceration of a parent or close family member. The camp provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where children can build friendships, confidence, and self-esteem while enjoying traditional camp activities like swimming, crafts, games, and outdoor adventures.
