MISSION
The mission of Camp Manitowa is to provide each camper with lifelong memories and help them increase and develop their confidence, independence, and maturity. It is our goal to gain the trust of every camper so that they return to camp and grow into kind and responsible young adults.
We also strive to provide excellent customer service and transformational experiences for all who participate in our summer camps and retreats, and to offer an outstanding experience in Southern Illinois.
VISION
We hope to bring campers back to Camp Manitowa for generations through their participation in our multitude of outdoor activities, the creation of lasting friendships, and personal growth. Our summer camp program provides campers with a forum to experience new challenges, enhance self-confidence, develop skills, and establish enduring friendships in the safe, beautiful surroundings of our Midwest location.
Each camper at Camp Manitowa brings something special to the camp atmosphere. Our unique gathering of kids and caring, mature, professional staff creates a diverse and supportive community that we hope to sustain for generations.
