Camp Chipinaw Recreation

Welcome to the spirit of summer, welcome to Camp Chipinaw. It is our hope that you will enjoy exploring our website as you learn all about our summer home. Chipinaw was built specifically as a summer camp for boys in 1926, and 12 years later the girls campus was added. Since that time, Chipinaw has become one of the finest traditional camps in the United States.

Our programs at Camp Chipinaw can only be as good as the people who lead them. That is why we pride ourselves on our wonderful staff of talented counselors, chosen from applicants all over the country and around the world. We look for energetic and responsible individuals who are ready for a summer full of laughter, friendships, and fun.

With over fifty different summer camp activities offered at Chipinaw, campers are always excited about something! We encourage our campers to try all of the activities! As campers get older, we understand that their interests change and that they tend to focus on a specific area like athletics, art, computer graphics, or performing arts.

Scale our climbing wall, soar down the zipline, or challenge your fears on our high and low ropes course. You can also mountain bike and mountain board on our picturesque trails, enjoy s'mores at our overnight campsite, and drop in on the half pipe at our skatepark. These are all activities you can master in our adventure program!

At Chipinaw, campers and counselors live in wooden cabins, sleeping in cozy wooden beds and bunk beds. Each cabin has electricity and hot water and features recently refurbished modern bathrooms and showers. At Chipinaw, our youngest campers live in our specially designed cabins that combine four bunks under one roof to enhance cooperative learning and peer relationships.
