Visão geral
Camp Chippewa is a non-profit summer camp for boys located in the Chippewa National Forest in northern Minnesota. Our carefully developed program promotes campers’ emotional and physical growth, develops confidence, and encourages friendships with fellow campers and counselors from around the globe. Camp Chippewa’s location in an expansive forest surrounded by two pristine lakes provides boys a respite from technology and hurried pace of 21st century living. A limited enrollment of 75 campers creates a tight-knit community in which everyone’s names are known and instruction is individually tailored to each camper. The in-camp program allows each camper to select their own schedule of activities including archery, riflery, climbing, sailing, swimming, soccer, tennis, fencing, and canoeing. Camp Chippewa is renowned for its out-of-camp canoe tripping program. Campers enjoy overnight canoe trips that increase in length as they return to camp each summer. Progressively longer trips in the wilderness of Northern Minnesota and Canada are the perfect environment for campers to build resilience, teamwork, confidence, and leadership, all while making lifelong memories. The evolution from an overnight camping trip to a nearby island at age eight to a three-week wilderness expedition to Hudson Bay at age 17 is intentionally crafted to foster growth and create coming-of-age opportunities for the boys as they advance. The camaraderie, accomplishment, and adventure experienced in the outdoors are often the boys’ summer highlights. Since 1935, Camp Chippewa’s mission has been to develop Character, through Adventure, inspired by Tradition. Today we remain the premiere opportunity for young people to experience the outdoors, build lifelong skills, and grow into more resilient leaders.

The experience my son had this summer was everything I have ever dreamed that my son would have. As a camper, I thought about how if I had a son, one day, I would send him to Camp Chippewa. The best possible outcome I could imagine was when he saw us at the end of camp he would say, “Thank you for sending me to this wonderful place.“ That is exactly what happened. Rarely do the outcomes that you plan for others in your mind materialize like that.
Our son adored his experience. Sincerest thanks for all that you and your husband have done in creating this incredible experience that is memorable and life-changing.
My son returns from camp as a calm, confident, kind and respectful kid. What Chippewa does for these boys is something we as parents can’t give them on our own.
