REGISTRATION IS OPEN! REGISTER FOR 2024 PROGRAMS

Camp Chickagami offers many programs through the summer season for young people, families, and adults. Our traditional overnight youth camp sessions are residential programs featuring outdoor activities, crafts, games, and more. Our program is rooted in the Episcopal Church, and our campers join our Christian Formation team throughout the week to explore their faith through age-appropriate, engaging, and self-led programs. Our campers build leadership skills, gain independence, and form lifelong friendships throughout the week.

Episcopal Identity and Inclusion

You and your family are welcome here! As an Episcopal camp, we are passionate about being a brave space for all campers. We celebrate diverse campers and staff, including national origin, creed, religious belief, color, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, family structure, and ability.

Our Program

Each camper is assigned to a cabin composed of 6-10 campers, which at least two counselors lead. Cabin groups explore our lakes, forests, trails, gardens, buildings, chapel, and outdoor play areas with other cabin groups during the week. All campers can try classic camp activities such as swimming, archery, and arts and crafts.

We work to ensure each camper leaves with a greater sense of self-love, confidence, spirituality, and creativity from a week of being accepted as they are in a compassionate community. By exploring together in a group, they develop a greater sense of empathy and responsibility to others and are ready to face new challenges.  We hope they feel inspired by their time in nature and have a deeper desire to become earth stewards.

Staff

Camp Chickagami staff and counselors are selected for their creativity, energy, kindness, and maturity. Each counselor and staff member participates in training focusing on group management, conflict resolution, bullying prevention and response, child development, creative programming, equity and inclusion, and activity leadership. Nurses, Chaplains, and camp leadership staff provide additional support and guidance to ensure your camper’s physical, emotional, and spiritual safety.

TIERED PRICING

Realizing that families can pay differently, Camp Chickagami has instituted a voluntary three-tier fee program. You may choose the tier that is most suitable for your family. It is an honor system; you tell us what is the best fit for your family. Each camper will receive the same wonderful camp experience no matter what tier you choose. This pricing model allows families to support the total cost of their child’s camp experience and help share that experience with other campers.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarship assistance is available for families that cannot afford our Tier 1 pricing. Our policy is that no child is turned away due to financial ability. Access our scholarship application here.
