Camp Chippewa for Boys is an overnight summer camp that helps boys ages 8-17 grow physically, emotionally, and socially. Surrounded by the beautiful Minnesota wilderness, the camp offers a safe and nurturing environment for boys to explore new activities and develop confidence. Many parents and former campers praise the camp for its old-fashioned, no-electronics approach, focusing on fun, friendship, and leadership. Campers enjoy activities like rock climbing, archery, shooting, and more, creating memories that last a lifetime. Parents appreciate the excellent communication from staff before, during, and after camp, which keeps them informed about their child's well-being and progress. The camp’s small size and caring staff, many of whom are former campers, foster a close-knit community where boys feel valued and supported. Repeatedly, families mention how their children return more mature, confident, curious, and engaged, often eager to return next year. For new campers and older boys alike, Camp Chippewa provides a meaningful experience that helps them realize their true selves and build important life skills. The dedicated leadership team, including the camp directors, are known for their attention to detail, care for the boys, and clear communication. Overall, Camp Chippewa is seen as a trustworthy, enriching, and fun environment where boys can grow into confident young men while creating lifelong memories.
I was there as a camper and a counselor in the 70’s and 80’s.
A good time was had by all.

Camp Chippewa is the BEST! Our son has gone for the past 2 summers and each time returns so happy, more mature, more engaged, more curious, and more confident. Highly recommend!
