Cha-La-Kee
Mini Camp

Our Mini Camp option is chock-full of exciting traditional camp activities for first-time campers.

About Mini Camp

Ages 5 to 12 years old

Mini camps are offered during a special week of our summer camp season. It’s a great “starter” camp experience for first-time campers. Mini campers will have a special, shorter version of the same fantastic camp experience as full-week campers. That means they’ll still get to experience traditional camp activities, get to develop new skills and make new friends!

Nervous? Here's What a Mini-Camp Parent Has to Say:

My son gained a real sense of independence when attending the mini-camp at Cha-La-Kee. It was a perfect transition because he had never spent a night away from family.  He wanted to stay longer!
