Chipinaw is a co-educational overnight camp located in New York's picturesque Catskill Mountains. Situated on a private 96-acre lake, Chipinaw offers a beautiful and tranquil wooded setting where campers ages 7-17, come for a summer of laughter and fun and leave feeling like part of the Chipinaw family.



At Chipinaw, we pride ourselves on this family-like atmosphere, for which we have become known. With the atmosphere of a small and intimate camp and a large staff of dedicated counselors, our campers are ensured quality personal attention. We also strive to offer a great variety of daily activities, allowing campers to improve their skills, learn new talents and most importantly, be safe and have lots of fun.



Built specifically as a summer camp in 1926, Chipinaw has grown into the camp it is today - shaped over the years by only three dedicated and loving owners. Though we're always adding new activities - as we try to keep up with all the changes around us - we still strive to respect and honor the tradition of Chipinaw's history. The more modern day activities such as digital animation, circus, and spin biking blend into our program alongside more traditional activities such as arts and crafts and horseback riding.



For campers that have the whole summer to spend with us, our CHIPINAW campus offers everything you would expect from a modern camping experience in a traditional setting. For those of you with less time to spend, the neighboring SILVER LAKE campus offers the same program and experience, but in half the time – with two sessions during the summer.



At the heart of Chipinaw is a well-rounded camp experience that mixes past with present, sports with arts, technology with outdoors and young with old to produce a program that enthuses and stimulates our campers whatever their age or interests.
