From Campfires to City Lights: Join us for a Social Night!

Learn more about the rich history and values that define Camp Manito-wish YMCA, and discover how our programs foster leadership, resilience, and connection in today's youth.

FOR CAMPERS: This is a great opportunity to meet staff, enrolled participants and other prospective campers so you have plenty of familiar faces when you come to Camp! Engage in interactive sessions that blend Camp learning with fun activities, providing a taste of the immersive experiences we offer.

FOR STAFF: If you're interested in working at Camp, this is a great chance to hear more about what a Manito-wish experience could look like for you! Already signed your contract for 2024? Bring a friend and show them what it is you love about working with us!

Share your passion for Camp by bringing along a friend and earn $10 to the Trading Post for each friend you bring! If one of those friends signs up, you will each earn $100 off your registration fees. Alternatively, you could be entered to win a prize of your choice if you don't have an enrolled participant for this season.
