  When I first read the Matt Mann quote “Madam, we don’t sew beads on belts,” I laughed out loud. That was exactly what my son did at camp in California last year (making bracelets and crafts), having fun but learning nothing.
  Chikopi challenges boys through sports, teaching old fashioned values in a supportive environment.
  Sam spent four weeks at Chikopi, and the growth we saw in him was clear. He came home more respectful, less whiny, and noticeably more mature. When he woke up the first morning back, he asked if he could go for a run! (Usually he’s on Roblox). His first day back to swim practice, he said the pool felt like a sauna compared to the lake in the morning.…

  Camp Chikopi has been an absolutely life-changing experience for my two sons, who have attended it since 2019. This is not a luxury camp it’s a place where boys grow, build resilience, and form friendships that last a lifetime. My sons became stronger swimmers, more independent, and more confident after their summers at Chikopi. The coaches are professionals, not just summer staff, and the owner, Colette, is deeply involved and super caring. The no-electronics policy is a huge plus, allowing kids to disconnect and truly engage in nature and sports. The camp creates an incredible sense of community and my boys still keep in touch with friends from around the world. From…

  Life changing experience!!!! If you are looking for the camp where your son will enjoy the mighty outdoors, learn different sports and meet other boys from around the world, Chikopi is the summer camp to go to! Personally I have attended Camp Chikopi for 13 unforgettable summers, first as a camper where I learned a lot about myself. Chikopi helped me become more responsible, to push myself to do activities that I thought I could never do. Chikopi was the camp where I made life long friendships, learned a lot of new sports that I have continued to practice. Some of my favorites are canoeing, sailing, and swimming. All the classes were guided by the best staff!

  Best Camp Ever! after trying out different sports camps around Canada and USA my family stumbled into Chikopi. A small camp dedicated to building character, sportsmanship and grit in young boys. It certainly built up my character and helped me create lasting relationships.
  It is an austere camp in the woods with all kinds of sports and activities (no motors) where everyone is a player.
  If you are lucky you will get to meet the girl's (sister) camp across the lake for races and events, A-KO-Mak.

  I spent several summers at camp Chikopi and it has always been so much fun! I started going as a camper and grew until I became a counselor.
  It is a great place to develop character, learn about other cultures, practice your English and do all kinds of sports and activities. Another perk that I love about this place is that you can disconnect from internet and have a detox time. I have lots of friends all around the world because of Chikopi and it has the best sunsets ever.
  I recommend Chikopi to all boys who want to have the summer of their lives!

  My grandson Aidan attended for two weeks this summer and while a little hesitant to have no technology he survived and wasn’t even homesick!
  He said the camp counsellors were great and except for the oatmeal he loved it all and hopes to go back next summer!🤪
  Learning to canoe was a new skill he acquired and is anxious to get in our canoe now!
  It was a very memorable two weeks so I highly recommend this camp for active young boys!
