❤️ 40 Years of Love, Camp, and Torch Hayo-Went-Ha Memories! 🌲

Tim and Michele Wolf recently returned to YMCA Camp Hayo-Went-Ha for a special fall visit to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary!

On May 23, 1986, Tim and Michele were married at Buell Chapel, followed by their wedding reception at Kresge Lodge.

The Wolf family's connection to Torch Hayo-Went-Ha spans generations. Tim was a camper, Leader Corps participant, and leader from 1967–1979. His brother, Mike Wolf, also served as a camper, staff member, and Program Director alongside Pat Rode. Their grandfather, Charles Wolf, was part of the camp staff in the early 1900s!

As Tim shared, “A lot of history here, and still my Heart's Home!” ❤️

Congratulations, Tim and Michele, on 40 wonderful years! Thank you for sharing your special anniversary and your family's incredible camp history with us.

We’re excited to officially welcome our new Camp Arbutus Hayo-Went-Ha Director, Bronwen “Dink” Dingeman, to the team!

As a former camper from 2012 to 2018, Dink experienced firsthand the friendships, independence, and confidence that make a summer at Arbutus so meaningful. After six summers as a camper, she returned to Hayo-Went-Ha in 2021 as a counselor and has since served in several roles, as the LC Director, a Division Leader, Program Director and Assistant Camp Director. Through these experiences, she has seen camp from many perspectives and developed a deep appreciation for the people, traditions, and adventures that make Hayo-Went-Ha so special. She looks forward to building on Arbutus’s legacy and ensuring every camper has the opportunity to grow, challenge themselves, form lasting friendships, and discover what they’re capable of.

“I am beyond excited to step into the role as Camp Director at YMCA Camp Arbutus Hayo-Went-Ha. I want to thank our incredible Hayo-Went-Ha Camps community for their support and guidance through this transition, and I look forward to getting to work building many more magical summers on our Piney Wood Hills!”
