Camp Manitowa

RETREAT CENTER and RESIDENTIAL SUMMER CAMP

DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC CAMP MANITOWA HAS MADE THE VERY DIFFICULT DECISION TO CANCEL OUR SUMMER CAMP SESSIONS. WE BELIEVE THE RISK OF INFECTION WITH OVER 150 CAMPERS, STAFF, AND ADULTS ON SITE AT ONE TIME IS TOO GREAT AND AT THIS TIME WOULD VIOLATE ILLINOIS' CURRENT RESTRICTIONS. CAMP IS A UNIQUE AND SPECIAL PLACE FOR COUNTLESS KIDS OF ALL AGES AND WE ARE TRULY SADDENED WITH THIS CURRENT SITUATION. WE LOOK FORWARD TO BETTER DAYS AND PLAN ON AN AMAZING SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM IN 2021

We are hosting social distancing families retreats throughout the summer Rent your family's own yurt, bunkhouse, loge, or cabin and participate in an awesome variety of outdoor camp activities. Please complete the "contact us" form for more details
