Outpost Program
One of the most distinctive aspects of Manito-wish is its Outpost program, which focuses on longer and more rugged wilderness experiences. This is an invitation only program for campers that have progressed through the Summer Camp Program. With an interview, other teens are welcome to apply. The Outpost program also has a progression, from the Voyageur level to Intermediate, Advanced and Expeditionary. All levels feature an option between a canoeing, kayaking or backpacking expedition. In the Voyageur program, campers live in tents while in camp and prepare for their nine day trips. The Intermediate level trips are 14 days in length, the Advanced are 24-33, and the Expeditionary are extremely rugged, lasting up to 55 days.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“Chippenhook was the home of Judge Theophilus Harrington, known for his trenchant reply to an irate slave-owner in a runaway slave case. Judge Harrington declared that the owner’s claim to the slave was defective. The owner indignantly demanded to know what was lacking in his legally sound claim. The Judge exploded, ‘A bill of sale, sir, from God Almighty!’”
