We are proud to report the success of our inaugural Swim-a-thon to benefit the Manitou Experience camp for children who have lost a loved one - www.manitouexperience.org.
When our senior campers decided to organize a swim-a-thon as part of their Leadership Program, we never imagined that our campers and staff would so eagerly embrace this project. Manitou campers swam 20,365 laps, despite losing most of the second-session to rain. We got 100% participation from our first-session and full-session campers - with 18 campers swimming at least 250 laps. The outpouring of effort by Manitou campers and staff to help others made us so proud to be part of this mission.

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with the Manitou Experience. Please contact either Bob - Waldo - Waldstein (alumni@campmanitou.com) or Sara Deren (sara@campmanitou.com) for more information about getting involved. You can donate via credit card or paypal online at www.manitouexperience.org, or send a check to the Manitou Camps Foundation; 119 W. 72nd St. #107 NY, NY 10023.
