Camp Chikopi – Boys Summer Camp in Ontario CanadaExplore Camp Chikopi. Our international community of campers and staff enjoy sports, outdoor adventures, and a tech-free summer experience in Ontario, Canada.
For 105 years, Camp Chikopi has welcomed boys from around the world to a place where they grow stronger, more confident and more independent. Founded in 1920, Chikopi is one of the oldest and most respected boys summer camps in North America. We take pride in our long history of developing character, friendship and leadership through sports and outdoor adventure.
Located in Ontario, Canada, Chikopi blends tradition and energy in a natural setting that gives boys room to breathe, explore and try new experiences every day. Our community is fully international, with campers and staff joining us from Canada, Asia, Europe, Mexico, the UK and the USA. This mixture creates a dynamic environment where boys learn from one another and form friendships that extend far beyond a single summer.
Sports are at the heart of the Chikopi experience. Our program is designed for boys who enjoy being active and playing a wide range of sports each day. While swimming remains an important part of our tradition, some of our most popular activities are soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, canoeing, sailing, archery, cross fit and mountain biking. These activities are taught in small groups where every boy receives attention, instruction and encouragement. Many staff members grew up at Chikopi and bring a deep understanding of camp culture and a passion for teaching the next generation.
Our technology free environment is one of the most refreshing parts of camp life. Boys leave their phones behind and rediscover how to be present, active and connected with the real world around them. Without screens, boys socialize more easily, gain confidence in face-to-face communication and form strong bonds with their cabin mates. Cabin living also teaches responsibility, cooperation and community.
Chikopi has been accredited by the Ontario Camps Association since 1965, which means our program, operations and safety standards are inspected, reviewed and approved by one of the most established camp organizations in the country. Parents appreciate the peace of mind that comes with this accreditation, and boys appreciate being able to enjoy their summer in a structured, well-run program where they feel supported and known.
Chikopi continues to thrive after 105 years because boys leave with greater confidence, new abilities and friendships that last. It is a place where they discover who they are and what they can achieve.
