My twin 7 year old boys just finished their first session at Camp Manitou about a week ago. They can't stop talking about camp!! They loved it SO much. Their counselors were amazing, and they made lots of new friends. I was so impressed by Camp Manitou, their staff and facilities. My twins are definitely going back next year.
Update: My twins are now 9 and just finished their third summer at Manitou. It just keeps getting better and better each summer for them. They literally talk about camp in some every day. I can't say enough great things about Camp Manitou. It is top notch!!!

This place is magical. The staff is an amazing team, they really care about you, and there is something for everyone. I hope to return as a counselor.

Absolutely the best possible camp. My brothers and I attended in the 70s, then my nephew in the 2000s, and now my son, entering his 8th summer. And the camp is far superior in all respects than when I attended! We’ve all made lifelong friends and memories at Manitou. Worth every penny!

Went here in Aug 2016 for a wedding. Let me tell you, the staff is AWESOME! The venue is suburb. The setting is beautiful, the bathrooms were super clean, and the the twin beds were very comfortable. I generally do not sleep well away from home. Night #1, I was passed out cold. Soooo comfortable. The outdoor continental breakfast was great. My only concern (for others) was the amount of bees (looked like yellow jackets) during a couple of the breakfast sessions. They loved the sweet pastries. LOL! Bring your eppy if you are allergic.

Camp Manitou is a great neigjbor!! They inspire children to become community leaders. As someone who spent 12 years working for them, I can vouch that they are a great employer. A fun place to work. I look forward to working with them in the future!

One of the best camps in the US, without question. I spent many happy summers at Manitou, and now my son is a camper there as well (along with many other second and even third generation boys).

For kids who would enjoy playing sports all day, and making lifelong friends, Manitou is the camp to choose.
