A Typical Day at Miniwanca
Most weeks at Miniwanca consist of four or five typical days and two or three special days. We know consistency is important for campers, so we ground the week in regular schedules and activities, while making time for atypical celebrations and exciting activities.
Each week, campers sign up for three different Interest Groups — activities designed to have fun, learn a new skill, and practice being their best selves.
