Summer
Camp at Manito-wish provides an outstanding
and fun experience for your camper and
results in:
- Making friends and building relationships.
- Increased independence and decision-making
- Increased understanding of responsibility
and accountability
- A willingness to try new things
Time spent at Manito-wish is what summer
dreams are made of. Riding horseback
through the forest, sailing under the
blue sky, making a new friend, singing
by the campfire, jumping into the refreshing
lake, learning how to set up a campsite,
paddling a canoe... each day is full
of new adventures. All campers participate
in a wilderness trip during their Manito-wish
stay.
