10th Summer!

My name is Lily and this will be my 10th summer at Chippewa! I am from Nashville, Tennessee and I am currently a senior at Harpeth Hall, but I will be heading to college in the fall. Outside of camp, I am on my school’s rowing team and I love to run for fun. One thing not a lot of people know about me is that I can do a back flip on a trampoline!

This summer at camp, I will be teaching waterskiing, sailing, and many other water activities. I like teaching these activities because the waterfront is my favorite spot at camp. My favorite camp meal is paninis and my favorite Cathy’s flavor is White Choc Rasp Truff. Songfest is my favorite Evening Program because I love seeing how hard the CITs worked and watching their amazing performances! I love being a Chippy because of all of the memories and friendships I have gained each summer. I am most excited for the summer of 2026 because I can’t wait to make the best memories with everyone back at my favorite place!
