Hello! My name is Tyler Ames. I am excited and humbled to be the Camp Director here at Lakeshore Center coming in with 8 years of experience working in outdoor ministries. I started as the Director in Spring of 2022.
 I grew up in Duluth, Minnesota near the shores of Lake Superior and the North Woods. This is where my love for the outdoors and ministry began. I went to Bethel University where I got my Bachelors in Missional Ministries and am currently working on my Master's Degree at Luther Seminary in Child, Youth and Family Ministries.
​In my off time you can try and find me playing sports, being active, listening to nerdy theology podcasts or just being outside. I am excited to be a part of the awesome team here at Lakeshore Center at Okoboji!

She was on summer staff from 2008-2014 and found her calling and passion in life. Now with 12+ years of camping experience she is back where it all began. 

During college at The University of Northern Iowa, she studied Religion, Psychology and Leisure, Youth & Human Services. 

Theresa spent over 4 years working for The Milwaukee YMCA at Camp Minikani. There she was the Environmental Education, Conference and Retreats Coordinator. During the summers, she was a Day Camp Director. She then continued her camping career by being the Summer Camp Director at Girl Scouts of Badgerland- Camp Brandenburg.

​She is excited to be back at the camp that helped her to grow in her faith and started her passion for the camping industry.
