Your Son Doesn't Need Another Screen.
He needs the wilderness. Real friends. Challenge. Freedom.
Camp Chippewa: Where boys ages 8-17 trade screens for paddles, WiFi for campfires, and notifications for genuine connection.
The Antidote to Screen Time
In a world where the average teen spends 7+ hours daily on screens, Camp Chippewa offers something radical: a complete digital detox.
No phones. No social media. No gaming. Just pure, unfiltered boyhood. The kind you remember from your own childhood.
Many of Silicon Valley’s top executives send their children to low-tech camps and schools. They understand what screens do to developing minds and and what nature does for them.
Your son will return home with calloused hands, genuine friendships, and a renewed sense of who he is. All without a device defining him.
Some Things Never Go Out of Style
For 90 years, Camp Chippewa has been the place where boys become confident young men. The activities may evolve, but the transformation remains timeless.
