Camp Manitowa is a family-founded summer camp and year-round retreat center located just 90 minutes from St. Louis. Since 2010, we've welcomed campers, schools, families, and organizations to gather, unplug, and experience meaningful connection in the outdoors.

Whether it's a week of summer camp, a leadership retreat, or a lakeside wedding, Camp Manitowa is built around community, character, and shared adventure.

At Camp Manitowa, we believe that time outdoors builds stronger people and stronger relationships. Our 40-acre property near Rend Lake offers:

• Coed overnight summer camp programs
• School and youth retreats
• Corporate and nonprofit retreats
• Lakefront recreation and high-adventure programming
• Unique yurt and cabin accommodations

Every program is grounded in intentional leadership, safety, and a culture that values belonging.

Camp Manitowa is located southeast of Rend Lake, nestled on a 40-acre property between Lake Hamilton and the larger Rend Lake. It is also adjacent to Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area.
