8th Summer

My name is Samantha and this year will be my 8th summer at Chippewa! I am from Highland Park, IL and am currently a student 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 never had a loose tooth!

This summer at camp, I will be teaching swimming. I like teaching this activity because I love to swim and be in the cool water on a hot day! My favorite camp meal is chicken nuggets & fries and my favorite Cathy’s flavor is Pirate’s Booty. Lip Sync is my favorite Evening Program because I love getting to bond with my age group and friends while doing what I love. I love being a Chippy because I love getting to spend time with my friends at a place that is so welcoming and creates lifelong memories. I am most excited for the summer of 2026 because I get to create more memories and this time it will be with my campers as well!
