Camp Manito-Wish

Many of you know about camp through our partnership with Angel On My Shoulder and may even have participated in a program here (or know someone who has). Our winter programs here for younger kids and our Teen Angel program in the summer are two great programs that generate a lot of excitement on the part of my staff and we believe strongly in the mission and this partnership.
For those who are not familiar with all of the work that we do, feel free to check out our website at: www.manito-wish.org. You will find lots of information there on all of our work through the year with high schools and middle schools, youth agencies, colleges and universities and all of the other great summer offerings.
With regards to the summer opportunities here, I also wanted to extend an offer to all of you in the Angel On My Shoulder community to spread the word about our great summer camp and wilderness tripping (Outpost) experiences. We have openings AND scholarship money available so that anyone who wants to be part of these experiences can do so regardless of financial situation. Our summer program serves youth from entering 5th grade to 10th and our extended wilderness tripping program provides opportunities for youth to experience the amazing natural treasures of north America (the western U.S., Canada and Alaska) by canoeing, backpack or sea kayak. Contact us at: 715-385-2312 or visit our website for more information.
