From Far and Wide...

72 years ago, camp opened its doors for the first time, welcoming five boys from Tulsa, Oklahoma. For many years, Tulsa was the only source of campers. Jump ahead to 2007 and I am amazed at the number of states and even foreign countries from which our boys and staff arrive. In fact, over the last five years, campers and staff have come from 36 states and 12 countries around the world. This summer, we'll add a new country to the list, as two boys will be coming from China. Isn't it remarkable how far the Chippewa family reaches? I am just delighted to see Chippewa's diverse camper list grow to places as far away as Beijing.
