Camper Development Team (3rd Year)
Hey everyone!! My name is Beth and this will be my third summer at Menominee and I’m so excited. I am from Warrington in England. This year I will be working with the camper development team to help the boys and counselors grow and learn. You will catch me down at the waterfront, my favorite place to be or walking around camp helping with activities.
Hello Everyone, my name is Steven Wilhelm! I am 28 years old and was born and raised in the Chicago area. This will be my first year at Camp Menominee. I will be a cabin counselor and am very excited for this summer to get started! I attended Illinois State University where I studied finance. After working in the corporate world for the past 5 years, I am thrilled to be able to put my professional career aside to teach the boys all I know about sports and the great outdoors! I grew up playing football, baseball, and basketball. While in college, I helped coach youth football and worked as a camp counselor for my local township’s summer sports camp. I have been camping my whole life and in recent years have gone on many cross country roadtrips to do some rough and rugged backpack style camping! I am looking forward to passing along all my knowledge and having some fun this summer!

Hey guys, my name is Tyler Field, I’m 16 years old, from Chicago, IL. This will be my 8th year at camp, and can’t wait to be back. This summer I will be a Junior Counselor at camp. I’m looking forward to leading Big Ten basketball and football, as well as other sports activities in preparation for competition. This will involve creative and specific drills, defense and offensive concepts, and getting our guys in the right shape to play and win. Competing at camp is like no other experience I’ve had before, so doing what needs to be done in order to win and be successful is my goal. In addition, you can find me on the Mike Dunleavy Courts or inside of the Green House practicing my own game and working on my shot. Lastly, I try to be helpful and hardworking at camp to improve everyone’s experience and work towards a great summer.

Hello everyone, my name is Ingmar Sanchez, and I'm from Tlaxcala, Mexico, the smallest state in my country, but with a huge enthusiasm to work at Menominee this summer. During this time, I'll be part of the support staff in the kitchen area, so I may not see the campers very often. But if I have the opportunity to interact with some of them, it would be amazing to learn about their culture and from them. And who knows, maybe I could teach them some cool things too. I have a repertoire of calisthenics tricks ready to be shared. :)

Camp Nurse (1st Year)
Hi everyone! I’m Danyelle Foster, and I’m so excited to be joining the medical team at camp this summer as a Registered Nurse. This will be my first year at Camp Menominee, and I can’t wait to jump in and be part of the experience! I live in the Dallas, Texas area with my wonderful husband and our three amazing boys, ages 14, 13, and 9. Life is full of practices, games, and busy schedules, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. While I’ll definitely be missing my family, I know I’ll feel right at home at camp. Both of my parents grew up in Wisconsin, so I’ve spent a lot of time up north—and it’s truly one of my favorite places. I’ve been a pediatric nurse for seven years, and for the past three, I’ve been working as a school nurse in Dallas ISD. I absolutely love what I do, and I feel so grateful to have the chance to add “Camp Nurse” to my journey. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, knitting, crocheting, cooking, and teaching. I’m also a big believer in finding joy in the little things, and I’m really looking forward to all the memories we’ll make together this summer. I can’t wait to meet everyone and be part of the camp family!
