Overnight Camps

Here for summer. Home for life.

Each and every summer, the magic happens. Camp Chi’s 600 acres become a place where the shy walk away from their shadows. The cool learn to be warm. The uncertain seize adventure. And strangers become lifelong friends.

Camp Chi

9–16 years
For nearly a century – Camp Chi has transformed children’s summers.

We unplug them from the stress and technology of their daily lives and plug them into life-changing moments. A soccer player takes the stage. An artist reaches the high ropes. Everyone becomes fluent in kindness and friendship. And the camp becomes a community as they celebrate Shabbat and discover the spirit of Israel has a home in Lake Delton, Wisconsin.

When the last hug is squeezed out of a counselor, there is a collective reluctance to board the busses home. But when they return to their parents, every camper is a little more little sun-kissed, a little more song filled, a little more confident and maybe, a little more Jewish.
