camp chickagami site & facility rentals
A setting unlike anywhere else. Yours for the weekend.
RentalsCamp Chickagami is available for private rentals from the beginning of June through mid-October — for congregations, families, organizations, and individuals looking for a setting that slows people down.
Nestled in the forests and on the shores of Presque Isle, the facility offers flexible options for groups of all sizes: full camp rentals, partial facility arrangements for smaller groups, and individual or family stays during select times of year.
All rentals include access to outdoor spaces, the waterfront, and trails. Meal service and additional support can be arranged — just let us know what your group needs.
Availability fills quickly, especially in summer and fall.
