TINA Talks--Part 1

Summer Camps

The Sleep Away Kind

Are they just as important today as they were generations ago?

Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D., puts into perspective the reasons why sending your son or daughter to sleep away camp is a great idea. 

Camp Chippewa is proud to work in concert with Tina. She is a parenting expert and in her two best selling books; The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, she explains the science of how a child's brain is wired and how camps help make children resilient. 

Please join us for a 6 part TINA Talks series. Topics will shed light on why sleep away camps are the right summer time option for boys and girls.

Faces of Camp: Hide and seek!

By now most of you are back to school and back to the routine of homework, sports, and life at home.  Summer 2014 was a blast, though, and we had a ton of fun!  For this month's edition of Faces of Camp, we thought it would be great to look back at some of the activities we played, and what better than our own version of Hide and Seek.  Check out these faces and their hiding places.

 Who's hiding in that traffic cone?

 Who's hiding behind that sail?

Some counselors get pretty clever during Counselor Hunt

But Evan wasn't fooled!

 The ultimate find in Hide and Seek: Waldo!

Will we find you at Camp Chippewa next summer?

Our 80th anniversary season awaits.  Register now!

Nothing quite like a beautiful day in an X-boat.

Swim class smiles. At home in the water. 

Bear Paw Court drills. It's all in the toss and timing.

CC Yacht Club shows it can navigate in Buck Lake. Nice skippering.

Hey Mike! What trips are going out next year?

It will be a great anniversary. 

See you next summer.

Enroll for 2015

Where does the time go?

That's a great question. Time flies when you're having fun. 

At Camp Chippewa, our time seems to be: fun, friends and FOOD.

Good job Demonia--Honor Cabin is yours for the week.

First trip to Hook Island. PFD's ? Check.

While waiting for dinner to begin, we were entertained by Charlie R., and Judson P., performing CC fencing techniques. Well done boys.

Music while we wait. Will, AJ and Jack like listening to Sam play.

Charlie, Sawyer, Eric and Luke look fabulous.

Michael K. brings out the feast. Nice tie Michael.

And this is where it all begins. Thank you for the food ladies.

Session One Was Fantastic

The bus has gone down Cap Endres Road and the cabins are mostly empty. 8 campers remain and while they enjoy a couple of days to enjoy camp to themselves (and Bemidji Day), they also are looking forward to more of Gina's cooking, golds on the archery range, and even morning inspection (did I just write that?) over the next four weeks.

As we say farewell to one group of boys, we will soon welcome a new group. We are ready to hit the ground running--summer 2014, part II.
