Our Mission
To enrich the character
and leadership development of each person
who has a Manito-wish experience by challenging
them to grow in wisdom, in stature, in
favor with God, and in favor with one
another. |
Our Vision
The Manito-wish experience
develops confident, responsible and enlightened
leaders who will improve the world in
which they live. |
 |
Since 1919, Camp Manito-wish YMCA
has been providing outstanding camp and
wilderness tripping experiences. Located
on the shore of Boulder Lake in Boulder
Junction Wisconsin, we are in the heart
of the Northwoods surrounded by hundreds
of lakes, rivers, streams and state forest
land - the perfect place to build skills,
memories and friendships that will last
a lifetime. |
