Camp Chikopi has been welcoming boys from around the world for over a century. Located in the Almaguin Highlands near Parry Sound, Ontario, we are proud to be a traditional overnight sports camp where boys build skills, friendships, and confidence in a supportive environment.
Soccer is one of our most popular sports, especially among our international campers. Our soccer program focuses on individual development within a team setting, with training designed to improve technique, fitness, and game understanding.
Our soccer program is open to all skill levels. Whether your son is new to the sport or already plays on a team, he will receive personal coaching and plenty of opportunity to play in real game situations.
What We Focus On
Fundamentals: passing, receiving, shooting, dribbling, control, and ball handling
Game Tactics: positioning, movement, spacing, and teamwork
Skill Development: turning, shielding, and decision-making
Fitness & Conditioning: speed, agility, endurance, and overall athletic development
All instruction is tailored to each camper’s ability level, helping boys improve without pressure or comparison.
Our campers participate in daily scrimmages and team competitions that emphasize teamwork, sportsmanship, and enjoyment. These games are designed to challenge each camper while keeping the focus on fun and improvement.
Soccer is a game that builds more than just athletic ability. It teaches boys how to work together, stay active, and develop self-confidence through real experiences on the field.

While soccer is a major part of our program, Camp Chikopi is a full-summer experience. Campers participate in a variety of activities such as swimming, sailing, kayaking, tennis, mountain biking, and basketball.
This variety helps campers stay balanced, avoid burnout, and enjoy a true summer camp experience.
Camp Chikopi is a traditional overnight summer camp that has been shaping boys into confident, active young men for over 100 years. With a strong international community, experienced staff, and a focus on personal growth, Chikopi offers an environment where boys can unplug, play, and thrive.
