Philosophy
The Chinqueka philosophy, “Where Girls Learn Together, Making Friends Forever”, is based on the foundation of teaching our campers life lessons through unique and fun experiences. Our four core values provide a solid foundation for the Chinqueka program and culture: empowerment, sisterhood, kindness and growth.
Empowerment
Each and every day at Chinqueka is centered around making our girls feel empowered. Whether it be on the sports field, in the ceramics room or performing on the stage, all girls feels accomplished at Chinqueka. Our diverse program provides a place for each camper to shine and feel accepted and empowered for exactly who she is.
Growth
Our girls at Chinqueka are encouraged to try and try again! They discover their passions and practice their talents, each while finding her own voice. Our campers go home after truly growing, sometimes in just 2 short weeks, and feel prepared to take on another school year and new obstacles, while feeling the confidence they need to succeed. We specialize in not specializing in any one activity; we believe in introducing our campers to a wide variety of activities so that they have the opportunity to learn new skills while pushing their comfort zones.
Kindness
Our core philosophy of “Learning Together, Making Friends Forever” is the foundation of all our programs, ensuring that kindness is woven into the fabric of daily life at Camp Chinqueka. Our campers are encouraged to support one another, celebrate differences, and share special moments together. Chinqueka’s warm, inclusive environment is designed to ensure that every girl feels seen, heard, and valued by their peers and counselors.
Sisterhood
Camp friends are friends for life! At Camp Chinqueka, community is at the heart of everything we do. Our program is designed to foster teamwork, encourage campers to support one another, and work together toward shared goals. At Chinqueka, we celebrate leadership and teach the importance of compassion, cooperation, and celebrating every victory together, creating unforgettable memories and friendships that last a lifetime.
