Maddie Bleiman

8th Summer

My name is Maddie and this year will be my 8th summer at Chippewa. I am from Highland Park, IL and am currently a sophomore at Highland Park High School. Outside of camp, I love to dance! One thing not a lot of people know about me is that I have goldendoodle named Bascom, after the hill in Madison, Wisconsin!!

This summer at camp, I will be teaching sailing. I love teaching this activity because I love being on the waterfront, and making fun memories with my friends. My favorite camp meal is Sunday breakfast and my favorite Cathy’s flavor is Pirate’s Booty. Cabin Lip Sync is my favorite Evening Program because I love performing with my best friends… and of course the Chippy dance party after! I love being a Chippy because it has given me a guide to increase kindness and confidence, as well as an incredible bond with camp friends. I am most excited for the summer of 2025 because I can’t wait to see a new side of my happy place!
