Board of Directors

Megan Spilker - President
I chose to serve on Camp Tomah Shinga's board because outdoor ministry was part of my formative years, and I believe everyone should have a chance to experience summer camp at some point in their life; no matter their age. Camp Tomah Shinga is a safe place, set apart from the busyness of the world.

Pr. Austin English - Vice President
Outdoor ministry is a special, life changing place. It is said that a child learns more during a week of camp than an entire year in Sunday School. Shows how important camp is in building a strong foundation of faith. I pray that Camp Tomah Shinga can be that place for as many people as possible; youth to older adults.

Cynthia Schrader - Secretary
After teaching and administering in public education many years, Camp Tomah Shinga offered an opportunity to continue working for the benefit of youth

My favorite memory at camp is every Thursday night I spent camping out under the stars during the summer and enjoying the fire as it died.

Clair Oleen
Bringing our Bethany basketball team to CTS for a retreat/work day when I was still coaching. CTS has immense potential for more growth in our mission and ministry. It is exciting to be able to contribute to this growth and ministry!

Ryan Smith
Tomah Shinga has been an important part of our children's lives by either attending or working at camp through the years.

Bishop Susan Candea - CSS Bishop
Outdoor ministry connects us with God.

Rev. David Whetter - CSS Bishop’s Assistant
Although, I personally never attend camp as a youth, I have participated in camp as a church leader and I believe camp offers invaluable insight and experiences to our youth. I want to insure that as a synod we continue to expand our capacity to offer camp ministry to all youth who want to participate.
