Acting Manitou Scholarships Foundation's Mission

The mission of Acting Manitou Scholarships Foundation is to offer partial and full scholarships for campers to attend camp who could not otherwise afford tuition.

Acting Manitou Scholarships Foundation promotes socio-economic diversity amongst the campers of Acting Manitou by allowing campers from all income brackets to afford tuition.
