Boys Summer Camp Leadership Programs

At Camp Kupugani, near Chicago, Illinois, our leadership programs help future young leaders transition from camper to counselor. In addition to being able to participate in regular camp activities, boys receive training to build their leadership knowledge and skill base.

We exist for boys as they are so they imagine the men they can become.
