A Day at Manitou

Program Philosophy

At Manitou there is a program that is right for your child, whether they are a team player, an individualist, creative, athletic or any combination, they will be cared for, respected and appreciated. Campers (with parent input) can create their own schedule from 32 activities while offering a mix of cabin programming as well.

Build Your Own Schedule

Each day has five programming periods and one “open” time at the end of the day that we call “O. & A.” Campers may choose to take an activity once every other day, once daily or sometimes, even twice daily (for older campers).

Activities

At Manitou a camper can create their own schedule choosing from 32 activities and receive their own activity schedule based on their (and their parents) wishes and desires. We offer our younger campers a more structured program of activity choice, cabin activities, exposing them to over 20 arts, sports and outdoor adventure programs.
