Chestnut Lake Camp provides campers with an environment where they feel comfortable and confident in who they are as a person. The most important ingredient to our success is a skilled, caring staff who work tirelessly to Bring Out each camper's Character, Leadership and Confidence (their "CLC"). Beads and Gemstones are two of the many ways we inspire our campers to show off their CLC.
During our daily line-ups, we recognize campers and staff who have created special moments for others through their generosity, friendship, courage, helpfulness or gratitude. Anyone in our community can be awarded a bead for their achievement. While campers wear their beads as a symbol of Chestnut Lake pride, the true value of the bead is shown when a camper gives their beads away to recognize someone else's CLC.

Our Program

From the moment our campers wake up, until their heads hit the pillow at night, our action-packed days are designed to provide your child with an exciting environment where they can learn, laugh, play and enjoy their summer vacation. We believe that combining structure and choice into our program allows our campers to experience all aspects of camp, build strong bonds with their friends and get the most out of their summer.

Sports at Chestnut Lake play an important role in developing self-esteem and allowing a child to grow as a person. From team sports to individual sports, the Chestnut Lake program challenges campers of all athletic abilities in the most supportive and encouraging environment.
While our highly skilled staff offer great instruction, we have purposefully designed the program to allow kids to be kids, enjoy the carefree days of summer and play for the "fun" of the game.Personalized Instruction: For the advanced athlete (or camper looking to improve their skills), we provide opportunities for additional intense play and individual instruction through our 2-day Sports Specialty Camps and rest hour clinics.

Waterfront
Report
There are moments that leave lasting images in our minds: standing up on waterskis for the first time, canoeing with your bunkmates, catching your first fish, learning how to hoist a sail, being launched off the water trampoline, winning a race in the swim meet. The Chestnut Lake program offers campers an opportunity to canoe, kayak, sail, waterski, tube, banana boat, pedal boat and fish.

The CLC outdoor adventure program encourages campers to step out of their comfort zone. Our Zip Line, Flying Squirrel, Climbing Wall, High Ropes Course, Vertical Playpen, Archery, Mountain Biking and Nature & Science Center offer campers the opportunity to try something new and feel that overwhelming sense of accomplishment as they reach new heights.
