This will be my fourth summer as a camper at camp chipinaw. I went to many other sleep away camps before I found camp chipinaw and I can say that no other camp has made me feel as welcome and as happy as I found ever be. I made so many friends that have stayed with me the entire four years and I can’t wait to go back again and have the best experience of my life. Also for people that are posting comments about how your child will hate it here. Take it from a kid’s perspective that has been in the bunks. The counselors care for your children and always make them feel welcome so please consider sending your kid to camp chipinaw C.H.I.P.
