Overnight Summer Camp for Boys in Ontario, Canada Since 1920

Camp Chikopi is a traditional overnight summer camp for boys ages 7 to 17, located on a lake in Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1920, Camp Chikopi is the oldest all-sports boys’ camp in the world and has been family owned and operated for generations.

We offer a structured, active, and completely screen-free summer where boys spend their days participating in sports, outdoor activities, and camp life within a well-supervised and supportive environment.

Each summer, we welcome campers from across Canada, the United States, and more than a dozen countries worldwide. Many families return year after year, with brothers, fathers, and grandfathers all having attended Camp Chikopi.
