Camp Leadership

Growing up, summer camp was not a huge part of Eli’s life, but playing and exploring in the woods behind his house in Wisconsin absolutely was. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin with a BS in Natural Sciences he traveled around the country working at a number of different summer camps as an Outdoor Education Instructor. He first began working with the YMCA at Frost Valley YMCA in the New York in 2014. Eli then moved back to the Midwest and served as the Camp Director at YMCA Camp Benson for four years before joining us at YMCA Camp Twin Lakes!

Tanya has served as the Head Cook at YMCA Camp Twin Lakes since 2016. She is a native Texan who was born in San Antonio, but she has spent most of her life in Austin. Prior to coming to CTL, Tanya was working for the Leander ISD in Child Nutritional Services. When she is not at camp, Tanya loves spending time with her family, especially her grandson.
