Chimney Corners Camp Life

Chimney Corners is made up of three groups of about 12 cabins called Units, which are grouped by camper grade level. At Chimney, the cabin group is a camper’s “family,” their Unit is their “neighborhood,” and the full camp is their community. These camp structures have been intentionally developed over time to support campers throughout their experience with us. Each cabin houses eight campers and one to two counselors who work, eat, and play together for four weeks. Campers participate in cabin activities in the mornings and evenings, planned sometimes by staff and sometimes by the campers themselves. These might include a game of gaga ball against a neighboring cabin or an evening walk around Smith Pond. Afternoons allow campers a choice of activities based on their individual preferences, with three 50-minute activity periods six days a week and two hour-long free period blocks. This schedule allows your camper to work on relationship-building, problem-solving, and independence as a member of the camp community and as an individual.
