About
Camp Conrad Chinnock provides organized camp sessions that include both teen and youth camps, as well as family camps in summer and winter. One evening in each session is set aside as an all-camp activity for campers to write letters home, and campers can also buy postcards and postage in the camp store. The camp store carries basic necessities such as soap, toothbrushes, and hats.
• Ages: 8–18 years old
Parents and campers are given specific transportation requirements: for Teen Winter Camp and Summer Youth Sessions, campers must check in at the designated bus stop in Fontana, and drop-off at Camp Conrad Chinnock is not offered for any teen or youth sessions for health and safety reasons. For Teen Winter Camp, all teens must take the bus to and from the Fontana bus stop, while for Family Winter Camp and Summer Family Camps (A, B, and Transition), all families must drive to and from Camp Conrad Chinnock. For Summer 2025 Sessions 1–4, all campers must be dropped off and checked in at the Fontana bus stop; Sessions 1 and 2 (teen camp) run back to back so campers can stay at camp for both weeks, while campers attending Sessions 3 and 4 (youth camp) must leave camp at the end of Session 3 and return to the bus stop for Session 4.
Campers are able to register for each session of each camp within the same age range, but space is limited. Laundry is sent out only if a camper is staying for both Session 1 and 2 (teen camp), and it is sent to the Big Bear Lake Laundromat in town. Communication by telephone is not encouraged so that campers remain fully immersed in the camp environment, but parents are encouraged to write letters and mail them before the session so multiple letters can be handed out during the week. Care packages can be sent as well, with the requirement that they not include food.
The Summer Camp Packing List includes diabetes supplies (with camp supplying all insulins as noted in the Session Information Guide), CGM and insulin pump supplies, bedding for a twin-size mattress, toiletries, shower caddy, towel and wash cloth, optional bathrobe, bathing suit and beach towel, underwear and socks, comfortable shoes or sneakers, warm pajamas, flashlight, musical instruments for campfire, sunscreen, lip balm or ChapStick, T-shirts, shorts, jeans or long pants, warm sweaters or sweatshirts, hat or cap, raincoat or poncho, sunglasses, and a positive attitude. The Winter Camp Packing List includes a “Brown Bag-it!” with five unique items a teen wants to share, diabetes supplies including insulin, syringes, blood testing equipment, one bottle of glucose tabs, insulin pump supplies, other current medications, flashlight, warm sleeping bag, pillow, personal hygiene supplies, bath towel, heavy water-resistant jacket or coat, two pairs of insulated water-resistant gloves or mittens, extra warm socks, a hat or stocking cap, and a positive attitude.
Camp Conrad Chinnock maintains a Scholarship Fund that accepts donations by check mailed to the camp office or through a donation button on the Home page. Refunds are not made after May 31st, 2026 due to illness or change of heart, except under specified conditions, and if the camp cannot operate because of Covid State Guidelines, families may choose a refund minus a processing fee, apply fees to a future session, or treat the fees as a tax-deductible donation. The camp describes an “ideal” Conrad Chinnock camper as intellectually curious, environmentally adventurous, enjoying the outdoors, friendly and kind, and wanting to have fun.
