Now Playing: Highlights 2012

Chippewa Highlights 2011 - Part 1

Chippewa Videos

One of my favorite parts of our new website is the Chippewa Theater.  Not only are there links to tons of photos, but we've linked several of our videos from our YouTube and Vimeo sites.   Plus, if you visit both the YouTube and Vimeo channels, we've uploaded even more of camp's videos.  We're also in the process of digitizing several of our old videos and plan to upload those as they're ready.

Check out our theater and stay tuned for even more!

(PS- One of our campers is working on the 2011 Highlight videos, to be released first on Facebook Video page and our Vimeo channel very soon!)

2009 Highlights Video Set for Release

The 2009 Chippewa Highlights video is just about set for release. This year we had a special guest editor, counselor Simon Taylor, who produced this great DVD. Some might say it's the best yet...you'll have to decide after picking up your copy at a Rendezvous near you.

Here's a preview!

Helicopter Parents?

Time Magazine recently ran a feature about the idea of over-parenting. While I enjoy the luxury of having very supportive camp parents at Chippewa, I admit that one of the largest barriers to promoting the idea of camp to new families often can be traced back to very protective parents. This video from the CBS Early Show elaborates a bit more on the point, as does the Time Magazine article which it references.
