Camp Chewonki offers campers a place to laugh, learn, and explore. We teach children to connect with the natural world, make deep connections to a new community of friends, and develop skills and strength within themselves. Our campers immerse themselves in fun and educational activities focused on community building, outdoor living skills, natural history, farm and food systems, and watercraft. Additional activities include visual arts, performing arts, woodworking, and archery with opportunities for swimming, sports, and recreation during free time. This three-week session offers classic camp activities and progressively more challenging trip options at each grade level. At the heart of everything we do at Chewonki is our mission, and our desire to provide campers with learning in the natural world. When not out on a cabin trip, each participant takes part in a weekly rotation of activities that are at the heart of what we do. Our daily activity schedule is built around these core elements: Archery Boating Community Building Farm Sports Outdoor living Skills Natural History Visual Arts Woodshop Puffin campers travel to activities as a cabin unit with their cabin counselors and get to participate in each program area once during their session. Cabin Trips Each cabin or yurt group has a multi-day “cabin trip” built into their schedule. These trips gain in length and skill progression as campers return each year, including canoeing, backpacking, and ocean kayaking experiences.
