YMCA Camp Manitou-Lin will be hosting our annual Fall Festival Fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, October 23, 2021.  This event will provide support for our Special Needs Programs at YMCA Camp Manitou-Lin in Middleville, Michigan.  Funds earned through this event will help us to fulfill Camp Manitou-Lin’s goal to never turn a child away due to an inability to pay.  Now, more than ever, scholarships are needed for children to participate in our programs.  In 2019, over 125 children with Special Needs were able to participate in our programs because of generous contributions from sponsors.

 

Our fall event will host a variety of family activities. In the past, this event has drawn over 2000 participants. In addition to trick or treating between cabins; activities will include the climbing wall, archery, pony rides, a petting farm, a haunted barn, wagon rides, face painting, s’mores,  pumpkin painting, carnival games, arts & crafts and much more.

 

Along with the fun activities and games, we also hold a raffle drawing with different gift baskets and items that companies and businesses have donated.  We are seeking creative gift baskets of assorted themes and content.  We can also build a basket with your donations.  These can be promotional items, gift cards, gift certificates for services, fresh produce, homemade goods and more.  Your business cards may be placed by your donated basket to promote you and your business.

 

In the past, community participation in our camp fundraiser allowed us to change the lives of special needs individuals in our own community. Can we count on you this year?  As always, any contribution you could make to this event would be greatly appreciated and is tax deductible. At YMCA Camp Manitou-Lin, we focus our attention, care, and encouragement on kids throughout West Michigan and they repay us through self discovery, confidence, and joy.  This strengthens the very foundation of the communities we serve.  Please help us to continue our good work.
