Their encounter was too brief to form any lasting friendships, but young people today find their time at Camp Manatawny most fulfilling.
Wild animals found in the area today are mostly rabbits, squirrels, ground hogs, and a few deer.
Most bears, wildcats, and other animals have moved to the north and west. The fishing is still good, and birds fill the air with their beautiful music. Fierce, deadly wild animals and snakes live only in the campfire stories told in camp sessions. Time spent in Bible classes, in crafts, in athletic contests, in the dining hall, and around the campfire forms friendships and memories and establishes a value system that will live on and on. Sometime, when you are in Berks County, Pennsylvania, take Route 562 from Boyertown toward Reading, and stop for a while at Camp Manatawny.
