Watersports Day
Each summer, campers get to experience a number of individual activities. In addition, we offer some special
events listed below to give our camp program some variety. After years of experience in the camping industry, we
know how to make sure that every camper has as much fun as possible while at Chinqueka!
July 4th BBQ
Each summer, the campers gather with the Camp Awosting boys to celebrate Independence Day with an old-fashioned BBQ.
The kitchen staff from both camps prepare a special buffet and the evening is capped off with a Social and some pick-up
games on the ball field.

Senior Trips
Each year, the senior campers from both Chinqueka and Awosting, our brother camp, take a 4-day overnight camping
trip to Cape Cod, MA and Lake George, NY. The excursion to Cape Cod affords campers the opportunity to go whale
watching, enjoy the ocean with a day at the beach with their camp friends, and learn a little about Cape Cod and
its history. The Lake George trip brings the campers to a beautiful area of upstate New York where they set up camp,
do some white water rafting, and enjoy some of the many local attractions for summer fun.

Coed Activities
The campers from Chinqueka get frequent chances to visit with the boys of our brother camp, Camp Awosting. As seen in
this photo from one of last year's Socials, both camps enjoy an evening of dancing to the latest hits. D.J.'s are
brought in throughout the summer, and on occasion, campers get to assist counselors in choosing the music for the
evening. Senior campers get additional chances to visit with one another at occasional Senior Movie nights. The girls also
compete against the boys in friendly competitions in various activities on an elective basis.

Lake Compounce
Each year, campers that stay for multiple sessions (4 weeks, 6 weeks, or 8 weeks) participate in special off-camp
activities, allowing for the new session of campers to arrive. Among the activities are a visit to Lake Compounce,
one of New England's best amusement parks.

Watersports Day
The fiercest competition of the summer is Watersports Day, without a doubt. Chinqueka vs. Awosting!!. Campers in all
age groups compete as a team to try and win for their tribe, as well as for their camp. Whether it is in the long
distance swim, the cracker-whistle relay, the obstacle course, or the traditional War Canoe race, fun is guaranteed.
All participants are treated to a Watersports Buffet and a Social between the camps.
