Camp Life
Campers at Manitou-Lin are treated to a traditional summer overnight camp experience: twice-weekly campfires (complete with traditional camp songs), daily chapel meetings (each day's skit and/or songs focuses on one of the YMCA's Core Values), family-style dining at meal times, and a little bit of healthy competition for each week's Battle for the Paddle (an award given at the end of each week to the most enthusiastic, spirited, actively involved cabin).

Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or life:
“The Indians invited us to lodge with them, but my companion inclined to go to the log camp on the carry. This camp was close and dirty, and had an ill smell, and I preferred to accept the Indians’ offer, if we did not make a camp for ourselves; for, though they were dirty, too, they were more in the open air, and were much more agreeable, and even refined company, than the lumberers.... So we went to the Indians’ camp or wigwam.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To see self-sufficiency as the hallmark of maturity conveys a view of adult life that is at odds with the human condition, a view that cannot sustain the kinds of long-term commitments and involvements with other people that are necessary for raising and educating a child or for citizenship in a democratic society.”
—Carol Gilligan (20th century)
