" Becoming a counselor at YMCA
Camp Manitou-Lin is one of the best decisions I have ever made in
my life. I never went to
camp or did the things campers get to do. That's why I am so
passionate about investing in the kids. They are learning principles
and values that they can take with them through life. "

" I
always like to sum up my camp experience for those who
are unfamiliar with the joys of camp like this: I was
always dirty and sweaty and my nose was perpetually sun
burnt
and it was awesome."
-Susanne Peck, Summer 2003, 2004, 2005
" Camp is a special
place! It is not like any other job. One summer at
camp will last you a lifetime."
