We have two 3-week sessions, Boys Camp in mid-June to early-July and Girls Camp in late-July to mid-August as well as two Family Camp sessions between Boys and Girls Camp. Full or partial summer opportunities are available.
Leadership Program staff focus on team building, initiatives and challenge course facilitiation with school groups in middle school through college.
STAFF QUALITIES
Our participants are taught humility, empathy, awareness of self and others, resourcefulness, resilience, optimism, adaptability and responsibility. Since the very beginning of Manito-wish, these qualities have proven vital to encouraging personal growth and positive transformations. They're the building blocks of character that provide a solid foundation for leadership. Our staff members are expected to exhibit these traits as well as encourage them in our participants.

Staff get two 24 hours (one during the session, one after) and one 12 hour off per two week session. Two hours of down time.
