About Day Camp
Day Camp presents an opportunity for rising
1st-6th graders to experience many of the great things Miniwanca has to offer. Campers
will spend days with their action teams playing together and challenging themselves
in a positive, friendly atmosphere. Whether on the sand dunes or the shores of Stony Lake,
fun is just around the corner!

Schedule
Monday – Thursday
The day begins with the entire camp
community gathering for assembly, where action teams are launched into the
day.
In the morning campers will tube down Stony Creek,
be challenged with the climbing wall, hike and climb "Old Baldy," Miniwanca’s
signature sand dune.
Afternoons are filled with time at the beach,
craft projects, and a variety of additional activities that campers will be
able to choose.
Lunch will be provided, as well as morning
and afternoon snacks.
Friday
Friday at Day Camp is a special extended
day. Campers will take a short hike to our well site to spend the day
swimming and playing on Lake Michigan. After a fun-filled day at the lake, we'll
head back to the main site for the Friday evening activities.
