This past August, the Manitou Camps Foundation provided 90 children the gift of summer camp.
The Foundation supported two wonderful programs, Manitou Experience (a one-week camp for boys who have lost a loved one) and the Summers Dreams Program (a one week program for urban middle school boys who acheived academic success through a program sponsored by the City of Boston).
Manitou Experience was funded by Manitou Families, Friends and Alumni and was completely staffed by volunteer alumni and staff. We are proud of all camper, staff, parents, friends and alumni who contributed to effort that we hope to be running for many years.
Details on each of the program as well as photos and video can be found on their facebook pages (see below) as well as ManitouCampsFoundation.org.
We look forward to giving many more children the gift of residential camping and some Manitou Magic.
