Many of the handsome lodges and log cabins that give Cheley its legendary personality were built in the 1920’s during our first decade of operation. The heritage of these buildings helps to establish a strong sense of place, which contributes to a camper’s burgeoning respect for his or her place in the world.The Cheley family is diligent about maintaining the integrity of the camp’s facilities and preserving their richness for years to come. Every lodge is steeped in tradition and story, like the Grant Wood sculpture that hangs above the doorway in Ski Hi Lodge, created by Wood himself when he was a Cheley counselor in the 1930’s.
When you combine the new with the old, Cheley’s facilities are as expansive and diverse as our mountainous setting, providing summer after summer of rich camp life. Cheley campers enjoy a wide array of facilities, equipment, activity rooms and natural beauty.
