Explorer expansion leads to a brighter and healthier Minikani. Each summer, over 360 campers experience the Explorer Unit. With consistently long waiting lists, another 100 potential campers, ages 13-15 miss out on the magic of Minikani.

After this expansion of new and refurbished yurts and new camping equipment, the Explorer Unit can comfortably hold 16 more campers per session, including a new one week mini-Explorers option, for a total of 110 more total campers each summer. More Explorers leads to more Leadership Trainees and youth counselors and role models. These additional teen leaders will build their skills at Camp, leading to a stronger pool of applicants for future staff positions.

An anonymous YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee board member has generously pledged a $50,000 challenge gift by February 29th to support the Explorers 110 Campaign.

Like Minikani campers work together each summer to reach new heights, our generous Minikani community of alumni, camper families, friends, staff, and volunteers are coming together to make this match and campaign a success.
