A chapter summary is what the chapter was about in your own words, like how you perceived it. A chapter outline is what information was in the chapter.

An outline is a list of points in the chapter.  They are listed in a a structure order with main and subordinate points.  

A summary is a re-telling of the content of the chapter in a shorter form.
