| From baking and BBQs to workouts and “water sports” – Week 3 of our Instagram takeovers was another huge success at our new time of 5:00 PM EST. We know how important it is for us to connect as a Manitou family during these complex times and we hope you and your family continue to join us! Week 4 promises more familiar faces and exciting activities – you can check out the full schedule below. For the many of you who asked, the recipe for Reese’s Week 3 Meringues can be found HERE.
Our Manitou Alumni continue to innovate and impact during the current climate.

We also want to thank everyone from our camp community for supporting long time Program Director and another Manitou Alumni Jay Wengle’s COVID-19 relief initiative. Through The STEAM Project, Jay and his team are creating face shields and are continuing to produce equipment to benefit Canadian healthcare professionals. They have just reached 70% of their goal and are continuing to accept donations.
We loved watching the many video submissions of campers tidying up their rooms for our Super Duper Clean Up Competition! We are excited to announce that Jayson Sone won the Morton’s steak dinner and Jonah Kaplun has won the ice cream sundae party – congratulations on your very creative videos. Please check out some of the highlights from their winning videos below!
