During our Overnight Camp, your camper will enjoy traditional camp activities, from the opening campfire to arts and crafts, boating, swimming, and our farewell fire on the closing night of camp.

Fantastic staff! They all treated us like family and were concerned for our safety while still wanting us to have a good time. This will undoubtedly become a yearly family tradition for us! Weekend of Labor Day at Camp Manitou-lin!

When I was a kid, I attended this camp for many years and always had a blast! It was one of my summertime favorites! When I was old enough, I wish I had chosen to work as a counselor. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
