Maya Fern

8th Summer

My name is Maya and this year will be my 8th summer at Chippewa. I am from Deerfield, IL and am currently a junior at Deerfield High School. Outside of camp, I like to dance! I dance on the Warrior Dance Team. One thing not a lot of people know about me is I never went to camp for 8 weeks until I was in Lakeview.

This summer at camp, I will be teaching sailing. I like teaching this activity because I still remember everyone who taught me to sail! My favorite camp meal is spaghetti and meatballs and my favorite Cathy’s flavor is Cake and Ice Cream. Lip Sync is my favorite Evening Program because I love making up the dances even more than I loved being in them. I love being a Chippy because I found a place I get to be myself and see only the best in others. I am most excited for the summer of 2025 because the summer of 2024 was unbelievably amazing!
