Welcome to Day Camp at Camp Manitowa
The swimsuits are packed, the water bottles are filled, and we’re ready for our first week of Day Camp 2026 at Camp Manitowa.
We’re excited to welcome our Day Campers to Benton for a week filled with activities, new friends, and plenty of Manitowa fun.
Day Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM–4:00 PM, giving campers a full day to experience camp life and explore everything Manitowa has to offer.
What to Bring
Each camper should arrive ready for a full day of camp. Families should pack:
- Sunscreen
- Water bottle
- Swimsuit and towel
- Bug spray
Campers will swim every day, so don’t forget those suits and towels.
A Day Full of Camp
Throughout the week, Day Campers will rotate through Camp Manitowa’s core activity areas during morning and afternoon activity periods.
Depending on the day’s schedule, campers may find themselves playing sports, jumping into a game of Gaga, creating something new in Arts & Crafts, hiking around camp, heading to the lake, and much more.
Every day is designed to give campers the opportunity to try new things, stay active, and experience the fun and community of Camp Manitowa.
Drop-Off & Pick-Up
Families should enter Camp Manitowa through the front gate and park on the baseball field next to the right field dugout marked “Welcome Guests.”
At drop-off, our staff will meet campers and families before gathering at the Bunkhouse as we wait for the full group to arrive.
Pick-up will take place in the same parking area, where our team will be ready and waiting for families.
We’re Here to Help
Questions or concerns throughout the week? Families are always encouraged to reach out to the Camp Manitowa team.
We’re excited to welcome our Day Campers and can’t wait for a week of swimming, activities, adventure, and camp fun.
See you at camp! ✌🏼🏕️☀️
