Mission
Report
When Camp Manito-wish YMCA was founded in 1919, formalized mission and vision statements were still decades away. But the core beliefs and philosophy that we embrace today were here from the very start. Our camp founder, W.H. "Daddy" Wones, was a man of strong conviction who believed that camp life should promote physical strength, spiritual growth and a strong commitment to service.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Report
Camp Manito-wish YMCA strives to create an inclusive environment by upholding human dignity, valuing diversity, and acknowledging unique experiences. The commitment statement is the DEI committees guiding principal along with the mission and vison. Simply stating the words of the commitment statement is not enough.
People
Report
Our staff is made up of a diverse group of people, each with unique talents, backgrounds and perspectives. But what we all have in common is a dedication to the purpose and spirit of Camp Manito-wish YMCA. People here share the values of hard work and healthy living, collaborate with their co-workers and embrace the chance to contribute their skills and insights.
Facilities
Report
Our campus stretches along the shores of beautiful Boulder Lake. Here under the pines, you'll find buildings for every program and activity, from historic cornerstones like Nash Lodge to the specialized facilities of the Manito-wish Leadership Center. And while they perform many functions, they also stand as a constant reminder of the people whose work, dedication and belief in the ideals of Manito-wish made it all possible.
