My name is Madeleine (Maddie) DuPont and I am a 2024 graduate of the Chesterton Academy of St. Margaret Clithero in Knoxville, TN. From my time as a Chesterton student, I've discovered the true joy in learning for the sake of learning and living a life that is Christ centered. Driven by a growth mindset, relational skills, and genuine love for my Catholic faith, I've thrived as a Fidelis sister and FIAT Camp Counselor, fostering a virtuous sisterhood and leading with faith. My role as a Tennis Team Captain put my leadership capabilities into action, demonstrating resilience and teamwork. I take joy in assisting in impactful, faith-driven experiences for youth, embodying a willingness to learn and self-awareness. I am very artistic, and excel when I can let my creativity flow.
Fidelis forms girls — heart, mind, body, and soul — into a sisterhood of mature, virtuous disciples of Christ through the witness of Catholic women.
As a mentor, I help guide the girls every Wednesday night through an interactive study of virtue along with many other women mentors striving to be good examples and witnesses to living a beautiful, virtuous life.
Fidelis Inspire is a week away camp located in East Tennessee at Whitewater Express campgrounds. Inspire is an exclusive opportunity to meet Fidelis sisters from all over the U.S and grow closer to the faith together with perpetual adoration available, daily mass, testimonies from religious sisters and priests, as well as guest speakers. It is also a week filled with fun and adventure! Including whitewater rafting, the blob, rock climbing, high ropes, paintball, and much more!
As a Fiat sister, we are not only expected to be leaders in camp activities everyday, but leaders in virtue. We help lead the girls in group activities, help boost moral and camp spirit, be examples for the girls as well as provide guidance if needed.
