Mother Daughter Weekend
Where Memories Are Made Together
A lakeside weekend designed just for mothers and daughters to unplug, reconnect, and create traditions that last a lifetime.
Event Overview
A Weekend to Slow Down & Lean In
At Camp Manitowa, we believe the best conversations happen around a campfire, in a canoe at sunset, or walking a quiet trail beneath the trees.
Our Mother Daughter Weekend is designed to help mothers and daughters break barriers, build bridges, and strengthen their bond while creating memories that last a lifetime.
Located on the peaceful shores of Rend Lake in Southern Illinois, just 90 minutes from St. Louis, this is more than a retreat. It’s a tradition in the making.
