ABOUT CAMP KIPPEWA

A Summer of Growth, Friendship, and Fun

At Camp Kippewa, we create a meaningful and rewarding summer experience for girls. Everything we do is intentionally designed to ensure that both campers and staff get the most out of their time with us. We love watching our campers grow, discover who they are, and build lifelong friendships in a supportive and encouraging environment. The opportunities for personal growth, adventure, and connection are truly endless.

Our Camper Experience:

Our dedicated and experienced staff work together to create a unique and inclusive place where every camper can:

  • Be Safe – Look out for one another, both physically and emotionally

  • Be Independent – Build confidence and grow in self-reliance

  • Be Creative – Explore new ideas, express themselves, and discover their passions

  • Be Leaders – Develop a strong sense of self and bring that confidence home

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!
