YMCA Camp Minikani

About YMCA Camp Minikani

Now more than ever, kids and teens are concerned about following the 'right' path. Our children make commitments in school, sports and clubs, anticipating that their performance will affect their future. These commitments provide our children with valuable expectations, such as earning good grades or advancing through friendly competition. However, all too often, children correlate their self-worth with these measurements—even comparing their performance with that of their peers.

At YMCA Camp Minikani, your child will have the opportunity to explore their interests and meet new friends in a safe space, away from outside pressures and their everyday routine. Counselors and staff work together to build a community of support around your child as they discover the best version of themselves. Each child is provided age-appropriate responsibility and independence in a technology-free space that is full of pure fun and imagination. Along this journey, your child is encouraged by a cool and kind counselor who makes it their mission to foster their confidence and resilience.

Camp Minikani is accredited by American Camp Association by meeting more than 300 individual health, safety, and program quality standards. These standards establish criteria for program, personnel, transportation, administrative procedures, health care, food service, program activities and emergency procedures. Accreditation assures parents and campers that Minikani has been measured against national standards in the camping industry. We are proud to be among the 25 percent of accredited camps in the United States.

All staff are certified in First Aid and CPR. Additionally, our Minicamp program is licensed by the State of Wisconsin and maintains compliance with all State regulations in accordance with our Recreational & Educational Camp license.
