Payment Information

We're facing these challenging times together. Many families we have talked with

this year have shared comments such as:

      "yes, sometimes we have to reprioritize, but we know that

       our investment comes back ten-fold in our daughter's life"

      "Manito-wish has been such an influence in every aspect of my son's life...

        his school work, home-life...thank you for helping us make this happen."

Camp is a strong organization with a strong history and legacy. Together, we

can provide an outstanding experience for campers wanting to be a part of Manito-wish.

Our fee structure, payment plan options and Campership program are in place to make it happen.

The following are considerations regarding paying for Camp:

                          1. Fee choice

                                  You will see an actual fee and an adjusted fee.

                                 Actual fees reflect the real costs needed to deliver a Manito-wish experience. Fees

                                 include ALL activities, equipment use, wilderness trip, meals, lodging, and facilities.

                                 Through the generosity of contributions to  our Annual Fund Drive and Endowment Fund,

                                 we are able to offer an adjusted fee.

                                 Simply choose the fee that is most suitable for your family. The fee you choose in

                                 no way influences the experience your camper will receive.

                         2. Payment Plans

                               Remember, our goal is to work together with you to provide this experience for your

                               child. If payment plans can make this happen, then we stand ready to customize a

                               plan with you. Please contact Karmen Tornow, Business & Finance Manager at

                               karmen.tornow@manito-wish.org or 715-385-2312.

                          3. Referral Program

                               All campers enrolled in a 2010 program have the opportunity to earn a $100 credits

                              toward their camp fee by referring campers to Manito-wish. A 2010 camper can pass

                              along a $100 certificate to potential camper, not only does the potential camper receive

                             $100 toward their fee, you receive $100 credit when they enroll. Click here for details.

                        4. Camperships

                              Camperships are funded through our Endowment & Annual Fund Drive. Generous donors believe

                              strongly in the Manito-wish program and the influence it has had in their lives. They

                              want to ensure that as many young people as possible benefit from the experience

                              in the ways they have. Funds are available.

                              Like scholarships provide assistance for college, Camperships provide financial

                              assistance for a Manito-wish experience. Both experiences are life-changing and

                              defining. In fact, the skills and values learned at Manito-wish contribute to the

                              success of campers in their school, community, and other activities.
