TYLER AMES,
CAMP DIRECTOR
CAMP DIRECTOR
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!

Kevin Hale,
Head Chef
Hello from Chef Kevin! My family and I settled in Iowa in 1994. I love to fish, camp, and cook! I've been in the food service industry for 40 years. Through the years, I enjoyed several wins in the chocolate classic and chili cookoff. I also helped pioneer the wild game feed. I was the chef at the nostalgic Inn Resort for 10 years, then was called to food service at a Christian Retreat Center called Bison Ranch in the mountains of Arizona. My family and I were called back to Iowa after 4 years, where I led in food service for another 10 years. As times are gearing back up, I have been given the opportunity to prepare the midweek meals at First Presbyterian Church. I bring a positive attitude through food hospitality so that people are filled both body and soul. I am so blessed to be part of the team at Lakeshore Center at Okoboji and look forward to great things to come!
