2nd Summer

My name is Joshua but people at camp call me Josh. This year will be my 2nd summer at Chippewa. I am from Liverpool, England and am currently working a full time job but I did study Sports Coaching and Exercise Science for 3 years. Outside of camp, I like to spend time with friends and family, play football (soccer) and go to the gym.

This summer at camp, I will be teaching Soccer. I like teaching this activity because I have a love for following and taking part in soccer back home and this activity gives me the freedom to express that. My favorite camp meal is chicken nuggets and chips (this won’t surprise a lot of people!) and my favorite Cathy’s flavor is Mackinac Island Fudge. Pirate Night is my favorite Evening Program because it allows us to really put in an effort to make it as enjoyable for the kids while also having a lot of fun ourselves getting into character. I love being a Chippy because it is the most special place I have ever been to with the most amazing people; from getting up and instantly seeing the friends you love to some late nights on the Jenny bench just watching the stars… it’s really special. I am most excited for the summer of 2023 because I get to be back at the place I love and see all the amazing people I met in summer 2022 while getting to do what I love all summer long!
