Another Manitou-Lin Summer Draws to an End

After an amazing 10 weeks at Camp Manitou-Lin this summer, we are down to one more week before Fall Outdoor Education programming begins! Througout the summer, we have made so many memories with so many different campers; influencing their lives for the better! Implementing our five core values ( Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Inclusion) throughout each week during the summer has instilled our campers with the essential character traits they will need to grow up into successful and genuine adults! Just remember that it's never too early to sign your kid up for Summer Camp 2012! We offer all sorts of camps! To name a few, Day Camp, Overnight Camp, Horse Camp (Day and Overnight), Skateboarding Camp, Water Sports Camp, Golf Camp and Soccer Camp! We hope you all had an enjoyable summer and will see you next summer!

NEW YEAR'S EVE BASH, BREAK CAMPS & HOLIDAY PARTIES OH MY!

Camp is swinging in to the New Year in high style!

Today all the decorations went up in the lodge. It looks completely stunning. The tree is trimmed, the fireplace has it's stockings hung with care, and most importantly the rocking chairs are set up to enjoy the warmth of the fire.

Next week we will be having our HOLIDAY BREAK CAMPS. After the last couple of months with only one camp, everyone is thrilled to have more kids coming back! The horses have been lonely the last couple of months without their riders... and Jamie and Kassi (while incredibly kind to the ponies) are only two people!

The sledding hill is looking great, there should be a ton of snow and ice to make belly slides phenomenal!

After break camps are done, we have a one day turn-around to RING IN THE NEW YEAR! If you need a place for your camper this New Years check us out! We will have video games, snacks and everything you need for a perfect Ball Drop!

Lastly, before any of the fun with campers starts, camp is hosting our HOLIDAY STAFF PARTY! Staff, both past and present, are reminded that they are invited to come out to camp this Sunday the 19th from 4-6pm for our Holiday Party & T-SHIRT EXCHANGE! Hope to see ya'll there.

Have a safe, warm and AMAZING holiday!
