AYF - Miniwanca is a not profit organization that offers camps, leadership conferences, and year round community and school programs to more than 6,000 youth each year. Our programs go beyond simple camp and outdoor experiences by concentrating on a mission that challenges young people mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. For over 85 years, the AYF has leaned on this mission to inspire youth to discover the best in themselves and to make a difference in their communities and the wider world. Experiencing the positive AYF community at one of our two beautiful sites in Michigan or New Hampshire, whether it be for 5 days or 5 weeks, can be one of the most influential experiences a youth will ever have.
