​Dear Friends of ACA Illinois,

Gordie's last day as a staff member is June 24th and he is eagerly awaiting joining you as a member and volunteer. With several camp visits already lined up, Gordie will still be out and about changing lives this very summer. 

I am so pleased to announce our new staff member, Kim Steiner has joined our team. You can learn more about Kim by reading below. I look forward to seeing the great things Kim will be do here in ACA Illinois with her varied background and skill sets.

Carlise, Kim and I are so thrilled to be working with you and wish you the very best and safest summer possible! 

Best,

​Hello Everyone!

My name is Kimberly Steiner and I am thrilled be joining the American Camp Association, Illinois as the Program Specialist! Camp has been one of the most formational experiences in my growth in life and and in my career and I am so excited to be apart of this amazing organization!

A little bit about me, I attended Western Illinois University and in between playing Ultimate Frisbee I received my B.A in Communication. Throughout high school and college I continued to spend my summers working first as a Counselor, then Cook and finally Waterfront Director at a camp in the Upper Peninsula (UP). The desire to turn my love of camp into a career was in the 2 years I spent full-time in the UP as the Program Director for that camp. I left the UP in 2014 and have since been working as a Program Manager for a youth development organization, running leadership programs for kids grades K-12. 

I love that camp is a place where everyone is welcome and that time and technology are not as important as community. Camp has taught me resourcefulness, flexibility and that anything can be turned into a song or chant! 

I am really humbled to have the opportunity to work for ACA Illinois; I can't wait to meet you all and talk camp!
