Every number has a name. Every name has a story. Every story matters to God!
How do you summarize an amazing summer at Camp Mini-Yo-We? What could you do to quantify the incredible things that happened during the summer of 2017? It’s nearly impossible to summarize everything that happened but we did want to give it a shot through some fun facts and figures from this summer at Mini-Yo-We!
- 2,097 individual campers who attended … a record number! 19% higher than our largest summer ever 17 years ago!
- 9/10 is the average rating our campers give us! Thanks to our amazing staff for making the summer great!
- 124 Bibles given away. We love to pass those onto our guests!
