Why Families Choose Camp Manitowa

For generations, Camp Manitowa has helped children build confidence, independence, friendships, and memories that last a lifetime.

An Unplugged Experience

We believe some of the most important childhood experiences happen away from screens.

Campers spend their days:

• Exploring the outdoors
• Learning new skills
• Building friendships
• Challenging themselves
• Having fun

A Supportive Community

Camp Manitowa is large enough to offer incredible opportunities and small enough that every camper is known by name.

Our staff works hard to help every child feel welcomed, included, and supported.

Camper Choice

Each camper selects four of their five daily activity periods.

This balance of structure and choice helps campers discover new interests while pursuing activities they already love.

Traditions That Matter

From morning flagpole to evening programs, song sessions, special dinners, and cabin traditions, camp creates a sense of belonging that stays with campers long after summer ends.

Camp Is Life

We believe camp helps young people develop:

• Independence
• Confidence
• Leadership
• Resilience
• Friendship

These lessons often become some of the most valuable parts of the camp experience.
