Meet the 2025 SIT Staff!
The countdown to Summer 2025 is ON — and we are beyond excited to introduce the amazing staff who will be leading our SITs (Staff in Training) this year!
The SIT summer is truly a transformational experience, and this year’s team brings passion, experience, and a whole lot of Camp Chi spirit. Let’s meet the crew who will be guiding, supporting, and cheering on our incredible SITs:
Meet Your SIT Director: AJ Teplinsky 
Hi Camp Chi! I’m so excited to be spending my 17th summer up at camp and my 9th year on staff — and even more excited to be returning for my second summer as SIT Director! I was a SIT myself back in 2013, and I feel so lucky to now be
part of this incredible program that means so much to camp.
What I’m most excited about:
I can’t wait to see what the SITs of 2025 will accomplish. The SITs are truly the heart and soul of camp, and this year’s group is going to do amazing things. It’s their time — and I’m honored to support them every step of the way.
Favorite Song Session Songs:
If I Had a Hammer and Father and Son — every time!
Fun Fact:
I was a camper back when the canteen sold Reese’s! These days, you’ll catch me ordering a cold Milky Way and a Strawberry-Blue Raspberry Slush Puppy with Shocker. A classic.
