Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To develop character, through adventure, inspired by tradition.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Outdoor educational experience promoting individual achievement & skill development.

  • A wilderness setting since 1935, Camp Chippewa provides boys ages 8-17 the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve mastery in skills and activities that are life-long endeavors. Boys advance in activities (archery, sailing, riflery, tennis, soccer, canoeing, climbing, orienteering, waterskiing, swimming) at their own pace and level of interest. Counselors and staff are mentors, big brothers, coaches and teachers inspiring boys to feel pride in who they are and what they do. Learning, achieving and giving back to community are goals for all. 120 campers served from 24 states and 3 foreign countries; 21 campers on full or partial scholarshipsWhat began as a family-run business still retains a feeling of kinship which fosters positive role models for boys on the road to adulthood. Being in a technology-free wilderness surrounding, discovering and tapping into one's potential with an intentional program and guiding hand from a well-trained and talented staff helps boys develop the skills and character to manage adversity in their lives. Our goal is to provide age and skill appropriate risks under the supervision of qualified staff. Our intentional program allows for self-confidence to be realized in each camper.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
