    Overview

    Camp Miniwanca offers two sessions of camps ranging from one to five weeks long for campers entering grades 3-12. Set on 360 wooded acres and a mile of private Lake Michigan shoreline, Miniwanca is a breathtaking and inspiring setting. A second lake provides the perfect setting for swimming, sailing, and canoeing.

    As a leader in youth development, Miniwanca inspires people to be their best selves. We achieve this goal by creating a fun and safe environment where campers will learn new skills and make new friends and we believe much more is possible! Campers 8-17 will find a progression of age-appropriate adventures and opportunities waiting for them. As a result, we believe Miniwanca campers will:

    • Leave with newly gained confidence in themselves
    • Be able to talk about who they are and what they are capable of achieving
    • Discover and develop their personal best
    • Act in ways consistent with their values Help to create a diverse community where trust, cooperation, and respect are the foundation
