2026 Day Camp Staff

For those who can’t make it out to Lake Valley Camp, the PEAK Day Camp Team is here for you! This team will be staying in Milwaukee and will be facilitating PEAK’s leadership-oriented programming all summer right here in Tiefenthaler Park. For this team, that looks like leading field trips for their age groups, helping out during our specialty camps, and providing a voice to make our programming their own! Many of our Day Camp Seasonal Staff also fill essential jobs like preparing food, communicating with families, and overseeing before/after care, all to ensure a seamless camp experience for all. No matter their position, all of our PEAK Day Camp Team is excited to work with their participants and can’t wait for the summer!
