Chippewa Partners to Combat Child Abuse

I am pleased to announce that Camp Chippewa recently sponsored on-air public service announcements to help shine a light on the problem of child abuse. The PSA's were broadcast on KKWB radio, 102.5 FM "the Coyote" in Bemidji, Minnesota.


It's important that we all learn to help those who may be living in fear and support those organizations that reach out with a helping hand.

A Fond Farewell to Sunny Moore



It is sad to report that Sunny Moore, longtime director at Clearwater Camp for Girls, passed away quietly last night. Sunny was a dedicated camping advocate and a source of wisdom and energy for camping professionals. She was also a firm supporter of Camp Chippewa, for which we will always be thankful.


We'll miss Sunny's enthusiasm and friendship and pass along our sympathies to the Clearwater family. You can read more about Sunny on Clearwater's website.

Reflections from the Arctic

In the last issue of our CHIPS newsletter, I published an excerpt from the journal kept by the crew on last summer's Arctic canoe exploratory, the Coppermine. The excerpt was written by one our the campers, Wil Gehl, who shared some wonderful thoughts, not only on the journey to the Arctic Ocean, but on his journey as a camper during his many years as a camper.

You can find the journal entry on our website. Take a look!

Thanks Wil! (pictured shooting some rapids on the Coppermine)
