For over 100 years, Camp Chi has transformed children’s summers. We unplug campers from their daily lives and connect them to life-changing moments.
And, long after the last s’more has been made, the best of Camp Chi stays with you. Friendships last forever, summer memories become lifelong stories and values learned become part of who you are.
Campers in 6th-10th grade who are signed up for an earlier Summer 2024 session can return to camp to keep the summer fun going strong! They’ll experience an exciting mix of field trips combined with the summer’s best activities.
The Outpost Village is an outdoor adventure specialty camp at Camp Chi. Whether forging trails, foraging for plants, or forming connections to the outdoors, the natural world is at the forefront of The Outpost Village.

Where else can you sail a boat, fly down a zip line, dress in a goofy costume, record an original song, jump in a pool, hit an archery bullseye and make s’mores all in one day? We know how to create fun and excitement out of the ordinary and extraordinary.
Imagine a summer surrounded by beauty. A canopy of white pine, oak, maple and ash trees offer shade on sunny days. Wooded trails and a ravine perfect for hiking surround open fields for games and fun. Blass Lake provides a cool breeze during the day and picturesque sunsets each night.
We believe everyone benefits when everyone can play. For over 25 years, we’ve been proud to partner with Keshet, to provide one-on-one support to ensure that campers with intellectual, social and physical disabilities can participate fully at Camp Chi.
Our staff meets with families to understand the camper’s needs and make sure that they are met. This can include anything from how much support they need, if any modifications are required, and which session is best for the child. To learn more about Keshet support, email Polly Cheeseman or call her at 630.566.9391.
