I went here as a kid....32 yrs ago lol. I didn't even know it was still here. I had a wonderful time.
My heart breaks that this place will no longer be open for the girl scouts come this October. So many memories of friendship, fun and magic.
I knew of the former Girl Scout Camp Workers & have meet 2 very kind people who spoke with me this past year who are working @ Camp Manitowa. The viewed photos here are encouraging & helpful. I am Thankful for places such as seen here. The very best of all of life to Everyone @ Camp Manitowa.
I went there as a kid from Chicago to get away from the city, in fact me and my 2 brothers went there almost every summer in the 1970's. Great place
