Can I contact my camper?

Yes, you may mail packages to (camper’s name), Camp Manitoumi, 948 County Rd 1800N, Lowpoint, IL 61545.  You may also send an email to manitoumi@mtco.com with the camper’s name in the subject line. I am sure they would be excited to hear from you!

What is included in the registration fee?

The registration fee includes housing, meals, and all program-specific activities (except paintball).  Campers are responsible for any snacks and souvenirs from the Camp Store and Snack Shack.

How do I complete a group registration?

A group registration can help you to organize your group and allow you to keep track of your camp rosters. With a group registration you reserve a set number of spots for a specific week of camp and then parents receive a link to complete the registration form.

If your church plans to subsidize any portion of your campers registration fee, we would strongly encourage you to use a group registration. Below you will find a link to a PDF Guide that will walk you through the process.

How much money should I send with my camper?

We offer items for the campers to buy from our Camp Store and Snack Shack. These items range in price from $2 to $27. The average amount that most parents send is anywhere from $25-$50.

In the Snack Shack, campers can get Ice Cream with one topping, or a candy bar, or a bottle of soda from the machine for $2 each, and other items for various prices. The Snack Shack is open every afternoon and evening.

In the Camp Store, T-shirts can be purchased for $15 (each camper will receive a free Theme t-shirt), sweatshirts are available from $20-$27, and stuffed animals range from $8-$15. Other items available include: keychains, water bottles, mugs, color changing cups, and more.
