From Loon Lake to Lake Delton, there are thousands of alumni that call Camp Chi their “home away from home.” New activities may be added and facilities may change, but the Chi experience has remained the same for generations. It’s about creating everlasting memories and lifelong friends, singing at fire circles, eating s’mores under the stars, hiking the ravine, staying up late talking to friends, dressing up in silly costumes, and sitting arm-in-arm at Chi burning.
Take a look back at the unforgettable 100th summer and see how you can still get involved in the celebration!
Coming Soon!

The Summers of Tomorrow Fund was established in honor of Director Ron Levin’s 36th summer at Camp Chi. After 37 amazing years, Ron Levin threw his final pine cone into the fire.
Initial proceeds provided scholarship funds for nearly 100 campers, realized a 100-camper fire circle and new aerial adventure course, and established Chi’s first reserve fund. Over 70 trees were planted as a part of this effort to ensure that summers of tomorrow are as bright and beautiful as those that came before. Please continue to help support Chi’s effort to continue to provide the highest quality in camping.
