    Overview

    For 90 years, Chimney Corners Camp has been a place where girls have spent their summers learning, laughing and building life-long friendships. Our camp is no ordinary summer camp, and with a range of activities offered, we're sure you'll find a summer program that is perfect for you!

    Our Traditional Camp Program for campers finishing grades 2 through 9 is the heart of our camp program is the traditional 4-week session. Campers live together with 7 or 8 other campers and two staff members in a rustic cabin. The campers spend each morning together as a group and do a different morning activity each day.

    Each camper participates in planning activities, keeping the cabin clean, and ensuring that the camp experience is positive for the entire group. By spending the full four weeks at camp, campers gain mastery of the camp program, make strong connections with others and build the confidence in their independence. We believe that campers that start with the four week program have the best chance.

    We offer several other camp programs:

    Our Starter Program for girls finishing grades 2 & 3, is a two week program for younger campers not yet ready for the full camp experience.

    Our Travel and Service Programs, our Co-Ed program for teens finshing Grade 10, partner with domestic and international YMCA's to help connect participants to communities and people worldwide.

    Leaders-in-Training Aides Program for girls finishing Grade 11, is a highly competitive program designed to help young leaders transition from campers to staff, by providing a challenging and competitive leadership program.
