Spring BReak Camp

Miniwanca
All Genders

Spring Break Camp is a mini-camp experience for children in West Michigan counties. Miniwanca staff lead activities designed to unplug youth from technology and experience living joyfully in nature.

Campers experience traditional camp activities such as archery, canoeing, arts and crafts, high ropes and rock climbing courses, outdoor cooking and camping skills, and lots of fun, active games. They will also enjoy quieter moments of reflection and discussion about their values and what access to the outdoors means to them.
