Some parents wonder if they should send their son to Camp Chikopi. Will he have fun? Will he fit in? Will he be safe? Will he survive without my Thursday night tacos?
In fact, Camp Chikopi is a special treat for boys. There are no parents, no homework and few responsibilities. Not all summer camps are equal. For boys to have the best experience it has to satisfy their needs, whether it is discovering new sports, improving in a sport they already enjoy, or simply having fun playing sports. It should also give each boy down time, time to be alone with his thoughts.
Camp Chikopi gives boys the opportunity to push their abilities, to excel and to measure up to others, whether it is through cultural or sporting activities. Camp Chikopi is very International, we are very inclusive to all nationalities, religions, languages and cultures. It gives boys an excellent opportunity to interact with a variety of traditions. Through these challenges, boys learn more about their own strengths and weaknesses and learn how to accept both. Obviously these fun and stimulating challenges must be provided in a safe and comfortable environment. Camp Chikopi’s 97 years of experience is a strong testament to this requirement.
Boys enjoy Camp Chikopi, they talk about their adventures at length once they are back home. It is normal for them to initiate conversations about the people they spent their summer with, their many and varied achievements, how great the counselors were, and how they want to go back for longer next summer.
