Ymca Camp Minikani

Tucked between two natural lakes on 150 acres of pristine wildlife, YMCA Camp Minikani is a place where campers canoe and swim, build fires and friends, test archery and explore the arts. However, Camp is much more than a series of activities or a plot of beautiful land. The heart of Minikani is a strong sense of community that is dedicated to helping campers realize their best self already exists. Minikani programs provide each child independence to explore their interests. Counselors guide this journey, all while helping children grow into themselves. Every element of Minikani—from the daily order of events to the cabin dynamic—is thoughtfully designed in order to produce all types of social and emotional growth. Campers have an incredible amount of fun. Sometimes, those fun experiences—like meeting a new friend or scaling the climbing wall—will expand their comfort zone. However, campers come out of the experience with a sense of accomplishment that builds confidence and resilience for years to come.
