Burrell’s Camp Chippewa

This year will be my son’s 4^th year at Camp Chippewa. Every year I ask him if he wants to go, and I always get a very enthusiastic «YES!!!» I feel like he has grown up with the staff, and each year they all immediately greet him by name from memory. He is not just a number there. He has also made some great friends that he normally wouldn’t have met, and they pick up right where they left off last summer. Because he is a shy, I had concerns he would be left out, but he says that never happens, nor does he get picked on. I know that’s sometimes a concern, but there doesn’t ever appear to be evidence of that or bullying at this camp. I also love the variety of activities they offer, which makes for lots of excitement, and no complaints of boredom or not wanting to go. If I had to make one suggestion, it would be regarding the lunches they provide. I didn’t take points off for it because it’s a bonus that lunch is even included, as that’s not the norm. I would maybe suggest more variety and maybe some healthier alternatives, but feeding that many children is complicated I’m sure. I would say this is the only thing my son is not too big of a fan of, but it’s easily fixed by randomly packing his lunch. Overall, this is a great summer camp choice and I would highly recommend it!
