 Anne
Derber, Executive Director
I wanted my child to meet
new friends, have a great wilderness tripping
experience, and have her confidence grow
in an environment very different from school
and home.
Her experience at Manito-wish
far exceeded my expectations.

Our 91st summer is here!
Summer Camp and Outpost are in full swing. The sounds of campers laughing, playing
and growing together resonate over Boulder Lake and through the tall pines.
Over the next several weeks young lives will be transformed through building friendships,
facing the challenges and enjoying the rewards of wilderness travel, developing skills in program areas, and so much more.
All of this taking place under the canopy of star-filled skies, in clear and beautiful
waterways and the stunning landscape of the Northwoods.
We are happy to share this experience with so many fine young people.
Break Out the Oars!

Since 1919, Camp Manito-wish YMCA has
been providing outstanding camp and wilderness
tripping experiences. Located on the shore
of Boulder Lake in Boulder Junction Wisconsin,
we are in the heart of the Northwoods surrounded
by hundreds of lakes, rivers, streams and
state forest land - the perfect place to
build skills, memories and friendships
that will last a lifetime. |
Whether you visit Manito-wish with your
school for a Leadership program, for a
meeting, or as a summer camper, the time
you spend here will be invaluable. When
you stay in such a beautiful setting and
interact with our outstanding staff, you
will grow in ways that will change your
life and your relationship with your home,
and your community. You will make lifelong
friends, learn new skills, laugh, play,
and travel through beautiful forests and
waterways. |
