Parent Feedback from Camp Chickami's 2021 Season
“To all the staff at Chickami this summer. Yet again, you blew our minds at your ability to make another summer during a global pandemic, memorable and fun for our kids. [My campers] had a blast—EVERY SINGLE DAY. They loved their counselors and I know that I’m in for an evening of sadness knowing it’s their last day. You guys are truly the best.”
“Camp Chickami exceeded my expectations to every degree. [My campers] couldn't wait to get out the door in the morning and begged me not to pick them up until the last possible minute. I can't wait to sign them up for camp in Summer 2022!”
