A common question that we hear when families prepare to send their camper to camp for the first time is, "How difficult is the swim challenge?" The word "challenge" may sound daunting, but it is an evaluation to assess each camper’s swimming ability in open water and make sure they feel safe and confident in the water!

Please note, if your camper doesn't feel super comfortable in the water, they may wear a PFD (life vest) for the swim challenge!

What an honor! The waterfront project was about more than improving infrastructure; it was about preserving a place where generations of campers build confidence, leadership, and lifelong memories along the shores of Boulder Lake. From shoreline restoration and improved accessibility to sustainable stormwater management, this work helps ensure the Manito-wish experience continues for years to come.

A huge thank you to our partners, supporters, and everyone who helped bring this vision to life back in 2022!

This week, we welcome another group of first-year staff members! Welcome to the team!
