Camp Chikopi truly stands apart from the rest. Founded in 1920, Camp Chikopi is an adventure-filled overnight sports camp for boys aged 7-17. We’re located in Parry Sound District of Ontario, where our campers enjoy a fabulous summer outdoors, in the wilderness landscape of the Almaguin Highlands on Ahmic Lake. At summer’s end, our boys return home with life-changing memories and lifelong friendships.
Camp Chikopi continues to stress the importance of physical exercise from a young age. We’re unique in that we help our boys discover their sporting passion - and we do that by focusing on providing a variety of sports. We offer a wide range of competitive and non-competitive sports at all skill levels.
Participation and involvement in sports impacts boys in a positive way for the rest of their lives. Whether it’s an individual sport, or a team sport, the benefits go far beyond the physical fitness. Our boys shape their self-esteem, build their confidence, and are motivated to achieve goals.
Which sport will your son choose?
The Camp Chikopi experience allows boys to achieve personal growth, while developing team-building skills. At Chikopi, all of our sports include ample time for scrimmage (game time) where the boys can compete energetically and with sportsmanship. After all, sports isn’t always about skills and drills – it’s also about fun and enjoyment. And at Camp Chikopi, it’s all under one roof.
The soccer program at Camp Chikopi is open to everyone, it focuses expressly on individual player development within a team environment. We emphasize the fundamental skills of the sport.

Physically, mentally and emotionally. Where else but Chikopi has a camper the opportunity to enjoy a soccer learning experience on the edge of a lake surrounded by nature.
