Sadie Salinas, Day Camp Director

Hello! My name is Sadie Salinas and I am your 2023 Wilson Park Director! I recently moved to Milwaukee from Eau Claire with my husband, and so far I am loving this city! I have a background in Summer Camp with both the Boys & Girls Club and the YMCA, and I could not be more thrilled to be with you all this summer. Outside of camp, I love spending time outdoors, camping, cooking, making music with friends, and spending quality time with my family.

I am a firm advocate for the kids and staff in my program, and I believe that parent/guardian communication is a huge piece of that. I want camp to be a place of joy and growth for everyone who encounters it, all I ask is that you keep my team in the loop on how we can work together to support the kids. I am excited to learn from you, thank you for the privilege of getting to know your kids this summer!

STEAM Camp (Ages 7-12)
At our “Science Café”, campers ages 7-12 will gain an appreciation of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math by experiencing how they're intertwined. Activities are designed to promote critical thinking skills and teamwork. Hands-on experiences like building structures and machines and an introduction to 3D printing will certainly inspire our campers.

DATES: August 14 - 18, 2023
HOURS: STEAM Add-on conveniently added during Traditional Day Camp
PRICE: $75 add-on fee
