Welcome to Kippewa!

We are proud to provide a meaningful and rewarding summer camp experience for girls. Everything we do is intentionally structured to make sure campers, and staff, get the most out of their time with us. We love watching our campers grow and develop as they discover who they really are during their time at camp. The friendships, experiences and growth opportunities are too numerous to count.

At Kippewa…

our dedicated and experienced staff work together to create a unique place where girls can be:

• Safe – Keep Each Other Physically and Emotionally Safe
• Independent – Become More Confident and Independent
• Creative – Explore and Discover
• Leaders – Bring Home a Validated Sense of Self

Our goal is to create a fun, safe environment where girls can make friends, learn social, artistic and athletic skills, and take childhood’s steps toward the independence of adulthood. Our campers are empowered to make their own choices and pursue their own interests. We strive to create a caring, nurturing environment where girls are encouraged to try new things and challenge themselves.

We believe in creating an authentic and accepting environment where kids and staff feel comfortable to be themselves without constraints of having to act or look a certain way in order to fit in.

At the end of their time at camp we hope campers will gain confidence, become more independent, feel a sense of pride in their accomplishments, feel more comfortable pushing themselves beyond their self-set limits, make good friends and feel like camp is their second home and family!
