Registration Fees

All registration fees include staffing, all activities, instruction, equipment use, wilderness trip, meals, lodging, and facilities. We are happy to offer our families two fee options. You may choose the actual fee or the adjusted fee.

Please choose the fee which is most suitable for your family. The fee you choose in no way influences the experience your camper will receive. Payment plans and Camperships are available.

Actual Fees:

Reflect the true cost needed to deliver a Manito-wish experience.

Discounted Fees:

Because of generous contributions to our Annual Fund Drive and Endowment Funds, we are able to offer families a discounted fee.

Please choose the fee which is most suitable for your family. The fee you choose in no way influences the experience your camper will receive. Payment plans and Camperships are available.

Deposits/Payment Plan

At the time of registering for Summer Camp or Outpost you will be asked to pay a deposit of approximately 25% of the registration fee or payment in full.

Our goal is to work together with you to provide the Manito-wish Experience for your child. If a payment plan can make this happen, we stand ready to customize a plan with you.

Please email Karmen Tornow, Director of Finance and Administration or call 715.385.2312.

Campership Financial Assistance

Like scholarships provide assistance for college, Camperships provide financial assistance for a Manito-wish experience. Camperships are funded through our Endowment & Annual Fund Drive by generous donors who believe strongly in the Manito-wish program and the influence it has had in their lives. They want to ensure that as many young people as possible benefit from the experience in the ways they have.
