Danielle Kaplan

7th Summer

My name is Danielle, but people at camp call me Dkap or Cookie. This year will be my 7th summer at Chippewa. I am from Deerfield, IL and am currently a sophomore at Deerfield High School. Outside of camp, I like to play field hockey and lacrosse, and I participate in clubs at school such as Warrior Buddies and Israel Club. One thing not a lot of people know about me is that I love to travel.

This summer at camp, I will be teaching sailing. I like teaching this activity because sailing has been my favorite activity since my first summer at camp and I love being out on the lake. My favorite camp meal is barbeque and my favorite Cathy’s flavor is Raspberry Sorbet. Tan & White is my favorite Evening Program because I love being part of a team, and the fun, spirited, and inclusive nature of the program is one-of-a-kind. I love being a Chippy because Chippewa has taught me how to be a good friend, teammate and leader, and it has taught me the importance of being my unique self. I have formed everlasting friendships at camp and Chippewa girls are truly the most accepting and supporting people. I am most excited for the summer of 2022 because I can’t wait to meet my campers and be at my favorite place on Earth!
