Discounts — first-time camper and multi-camper savings
We want to welcome all of our new campers by giving them a $50 discount. Families that register more than two campers from their immediate family will receive a $40 discount for the third or more child. Campers who have completed grades 4 through 9 are able to attend more than one week and receive a $100 discount off the cost of the second week.
Year after year our campers return to renew the strong bonds of friendship they build at Camp. Our hope is to provide each and every camper with a meaningful and memorable experience and our ultimate desire and hope is for young people's lives to be transformed through the love of Jesus.
A Christian Camp Glorifying God and Transforming Lives for Christ for a Lifetime. Since 1967, our mission is to provide a place where kids of all ages can learn about Christ in an atmosphere of worship, study and fun, while having a meaningful and memorable experience.
One of the reasons Camp continues to function each year is because of the countless number of people who give of their time and energy to serve as volunteers during summer camp and throughout the year. All of our volunteer staff who fill out a staff application are asked to read and affirm our Statement of Faith.
Cabin sleeping arrangements — Boys Town and Girls Town
Boys Town and Girls Town rustic cabins (the 'Greenies') have 9 bunks each, with no heat, AC, or bathrooms — bath houses are located close by. A new cabin with two bunk areas, AC/heat, two full bathrooms with toilets and showers, and sprinklers sleeps up to 28 campers (14 per side, with 7 stacked bunks per room).
Cabin upgrades — health, safety, and staffing rationale
In mid July and August, extremely hot conditions coupled with daily physical activity and mental learning requires significant rest for campers and staff. Climate controlled cabins will allow staff to turn on air conditioners so campers and staff can rest well and remain healthy and strong for the week's activities. To ensure appropriate guidance and oversight of our campers, it is required that the summer session directors staff two counselors per cabin — two to three counselors to 16–18 campers, in line with American Camping Association recommendations.
The new cabins will be climate controlled, comfortable for sleeping, will include bathrooms and some units will be handicap accessible. The new cabins will offer additional opportunities for year round use for retreats, weekend events and rental groups. The cabins will house about 24 to 28 people (12 to 14 on each side).
Camp Manatawny loves to help youth come to camp! Through the generosity of Camp donors, the Camp is able to assist a limited number of families in providing the necessary funds to attend summer camp. Each camper family seeking aid is also expected to contribute some amount towards the cost of camp registration corresponding to their ability to pay, with the awarded aid making up the difference. Funds are available and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
