My name is Hayden and this year will be my 8th summer at Chippewa. I am from Deerfield, IL and am currently a student at Deerfield High School. Outside of camp, I am involved with high school tennis and badminton, and I like to spend time with family and friends. One thing not a lot of people know about me is that I can whistle with my fingers.
This summer at camp, I will be teaching waterskiing and swimming. I like teaching these activities because I love being in the water and helping campers gain confidence while having fun! My favorite camp meal is paninis, and my favorite Cathy’s flavor is Cake & Ice Cream. Pirate Night is my favorite Evening Program because I love it when the cabin is all together laughing and having fun with a little competition at the same time! I love being a Chippy because you get to be your authentic self and make friendships that last a lifetime. I am most excited for the summer of 2026 because I can’t wait to make new memories and build new friendships!
