Chewonki is passionate about taking young people into the outdoors and showing them the incredible rewards of spending time in wilderness, being challenged by the experience, and making friends that last a lifetime.

We have been teaching people the value of their heritage of wildlife and unspoiled natural areas since the 1930s and have a reputation for making our trips engaging, challenging and fun. Many Chewonki trippers develop an interest in stewardship and environmental ethics that lasts a lifetime. We hope that at the close of the season, each tripper returns home with real skills that provide pleasure and confidence; an understanding of the power of integrity; a deepened sense of responsibility for self, others, and the environment; and a genuine enthusiasm for the natural world.
