Staff Spotlight- May 2018

Emily Connell is featured in this month’s Staff Spotlight. Emily is a long time Chippy whose enthusiasm and spirit for Chippewa is incredible. In addition, she is a fantastic cabin counselor who truly understands the responsibility that she has. Last summer, she brought a new activity to camp (WERQ) and it was extremely popular. We love having Emily at camp and are looking forward to working with her for many summers to come. Read below to learn a little bit about Emily and her camp experience…
