8th Summer

My name is Ella and this year will be my 8th summer at Chippewa. I am from Highland Park, IL and am currently a junior at Highland Park High School. Outside of camp, I like to play lacrosse and hang out with friends and family! One thing not a lot of people know about me is that my dog’s middle name is Chippy!

This summer at camp, I will be teaching swimming, waterskiing, and sailing! I like teaching these activities because the lake is my favorite place to be at camp! My favorite camp meal is paninis and my favorite Cathy’s flavor is White Choc Ras Truff! Tan & White is my favorite Evening Program because everyone is so enthusiastic and I love being competitive! I love being a Chippy because camp is the most magical place where I can be my true self and be with my best friends! I am most excited for the summer of 2026 because I can’t wait to be back with my age group and campers and have the best summer ever!!!!
