Chi was founded in 1921 as the Chicago Hebrew Institute by the Jewish Community Centers of Chicago. [2] In the 1940s and beyond, the camp was supported by fundraising efforts by the Jewish Auxiliary [3] and the Institute Woman's Club via luncheons. [4]
In the 1950s, the camp had a summer population of 1500 children between the ages of 5 and 16, [5] and it provided for free summer events and trips to Jewish elderly.

The 600 acre facility features summer cabins, two pools, tennis courts, a horseback riding stable, athletic fields, a large winterized gymnasium facility, a year-round conference center and miles of magnificent trails. The director of Camp Chi is Kyle.
