In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AYF makes the difficult decision to cancel all programs at Miniwanca and Merrowvista for the first time in the organization’s history.
The programming teams pivot from their camp preparations and embrace virtual program options, called Invincible Summer. More than 200 participants joined AYF staff from July 6 to July 31 for free, virtual programming. Though nothing can replace the in person connections, the virtual programs provided youth opportunities to continue to practice four-fold, balanced living, and help them explore what it meant to be their best self during a challenging time.
During a summer without campers, Miniwanca undergoes comprehensive cabin renovations in West Camp, including window screen installation and window flap replacements.
