What is Wear Manitou Day?

Wear Manitou Day is an opportunity to wear your favorite Manitou gear and show them off by shooting fun, creative and unique photos in or near your home. On November 14th, participants will take photos of themselves in their Manitou gear and either email us or post to social media using the #wearmanitou17 tag. We give prizes to participants in different categories: Best Group, Most Items, Best Location, Creative Staff, Creative Camper, Creative Alumni, and Creative siblings.

What are Experience Camps?

Experience Camps are one-week camps for boys and girls who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. It's a place where kids can laugh, cry, play, create, remember the person who died, or forget the grief that weighs them down. It's a place where they can feel "normal", because everyone there has been through something similar and understands what it's like to lose someone important to them. It's a home away from home. And just about everyone will tell you..."It's the best week of the year".
