Welcome Home
There is something truly special about the feeling of coming home to Camp Chen-A-Wanda. Summer after summer, when the bus turns onto Camp Road, something magical happens—you can feel it instantly. Your camper is back in a place where they are known, supported, and truly belong. The sights, sounds, laughter, and spirit of camp stay with them all year, returning in an instant the moment they arrive.
While Chenny itself is beautiful, it is the people who give camp its heart. The friendships formed, the encouragement from counselors, and the shared love for Camp Chen-A-Wanda create a sense of family that lasts far beyond the summer. Campers grow in confidence, independence, and kindness while being surrounded by a community that cares deeply about them.
Camp pride runs deep, and we are endlessly grateful to our Chenny campers and families for being part of this extraordinary community and for trusting us with what matters most, your children.
