Welcome Message
JD & Dave, Directors
Summer camp in Maine means sunny days, cool nights and fresh air. But there is something even more unique about our summer camp. We call it Manitou Magic. It’s the bond between campers and counselors. A sense of family strengthened by the presence of cousins, brothers, and sons of former campers. Learning not only how to play, but how to win and, yes, lose. It allows the youngest camper to compete in front of the whole camp without fear - he’s among friends cheering him on, no matter what.
