1 Summer Day Camps NEENAH-MENASHA 2015 ADVENTURES START HERE

2 Teen Camp Iwannago (Ages 11-14) Camp Iwannago is held at the Neenah-Menasha YMCA. We use the Youth Center, just off of the Miron Gym, as our home base. Activities will be geared to build character, instill Christian values and to teach respect and healthy living. It is our goal to help our campers develop self-esteem, a strong work ethic and the willingness to maintain a positive attitude. Our Teen Camp begins at 8:00 AM each day and ends at 4:00 PM. Campers must provide their own lunch or they can purchase lunch from our Riverside Café on non-field trip days. Extended care is offered in the morning starting at 7:00 AM and ending at 5:30 PM. A typical camp week will include sports, gym activities, swimming, working out at the Y, walking to the Neenah Public Library and nearby city parks and helping with some community service or Y projects. Each week we will also have a field trip to local attractions in the Fox Valley area. If you want your teen to develop integrity, respect, social skills with good manners and good healthy living habits, send them to Teen Camp Iwannago!

After everyone is energized and motivated, we move into our morning activities described under Traditional Camp and Sports & Specialty Camps below. Once morning activities and lunch are over, the different groups participate in more fun activities and often go swimming at the Neenah High School Pool. Once a week the entire camp goes on a special Field Trip in the community and also has a cookout on Fridays. At the end of the day, we meet once again in Song Circle to recognize our Camper of the Day and perform our Closing Bead Ceremony based on our four core values of: Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.
