Founded in 1919, Camp Manito-wish YMCA
has grown from a wilderness summer camp
into one of the most respected youth and
leadership programs in the world. Our goal
is for everyone associated with us to have
a "Manito-wish Experience."
A Manito-wish Experience is an opportunity
for growth. Our mission is for participants
to grow in four aspects of their lives:
wisdom, stature, favor with God and favor
with one another. |
 |
How that happens at Manito-wish is what
makes the Manito-wish experience so unique
and special. The culture, people, and place
are the keys. At Manito-wish, living, working,
and playing together creates a strong sense
of community. The staff and campers are
role models of caring, honesty, respect,
and responsibility. Lifelong friendships
are formed from the shared experience.
There is a close connection with nature
and the wilderness that surrounds our location.
Even the cabins were built to facilitate
the community growth.
As a result, the Manito-wish culture and
setting are safe, fun and enriching physically,
emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
And the experiences are progressive, fun,
and life-enriching. |

Manito-wish Mission
At Camp Manito-wish YMCA, our mission is
to provide fun, life-enriching experiences
for our campers. We will work to see
that all those who are associated with
us have a "Manito-wish Experience" where
each participant grows in wisdom, in
stature, in favor with God and in favor
with one another. (Luke 2:52). |
