Katie | The Literacy Camp® Owner & Founder
Oh hey there! I’m Katie & I founded The Literacy Camp® back in 2014! Why? I wanted to be a part of the solution.
I saw teachers & families frustrated by learning loss happening over the summer (on average in the US it’s 36%!!!) when kids lacked summer reading & writing opportunities.
I saw a need for summer camps for children that LOVED to read, write & learn and just couldn’t find a special place to thrive in these areas over the summer.
I heard families wishing it were easier to get kids to WANT to learn, LOVE learning & become LIFELONG learners.
So…The Literacy Camp® was born with the mission to grow & develop a LOVE fore reading & writing! We provide families & communities with a summer camp experience that engages kids in a way parents AND kids LOVE!
I’ve got a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Hope College & a Masters in Curriculum & Instruction from MSU – with a Literacy & Language emphasis & a BR Reading Specialist certification. My expertise is in literacy instruction - but I’m most passionate about kids falling in love with learning.
See you this SUMMER! We’ll be celebrating 12 years of The Literacy Camp®!
Miss Jaclyn | The Literacy Camp® Director
I’m Miss Jaclyn! I’ve been the resident Director at The Literacy Camp® for 4 years now!
My resume also includes Assistant Kids Director, Media Assistant, Pastor’s wife & teacher assistant! I studied elementary education and earned a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I enjoy organizing lesson plans & crafts, working with kids of all ages, supporting & encouraging amazing educators I work with, and making learning FUN & accessible for all kids. I especially LOVE seeing them learn & grow!
My favorite role, however, is being a wife & mama to my 15, 13, and 5 year old. Even though they produce a ridiculous amount of laundry on a daily basis, taking care of them is my greatest joy! My hobbies involve my kiddos, including shopping sprees, basketball games & playing baby dolls. My family loves movie nights, swimming & going on trips together.
Oh, and our dog, Groot is often jealous of the attention the 5 year old gets & demanded to be included in my bio as my favorite dog.
I’m so very excited to work with kids, parents & teachers at The Literacy Camp® as Literacy Camp Director again this summer!
Miss McKenzie | The Literacy Camp® Teacher
Hi! I'm Miss McKenzie & I am SO excited to be back at The Literacy Camp® this summer for the 2nd time!
I graduated from Michigan State University (GO GREEN) with a Bachelors in Child Development & a Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) minor. I have worked with children in many settings the past 8 years. I have taught both 2nd and 3rd grade in Charlotte! I am a wife and mama to a precious boy named Tucker & a fur Mom to our yellow lab, Buzz!
In my free time, I love crafting, camping, drinking coffee, adventuring outdoors & dancing! Fun fact - Miss Katie was my one of my dance teachers in High School! :)
So excited to have a blast at camp again this summer!
Miss Stacy | The Literacy Camp® Teacher
Hi there! I'm Miss Stacy, and I’m excited to be a part of the wonderful Literacy Camp again this summer for the 3rd year! I live in Eaton Rapids with my husband, 3 kids, 2 dogs & chickens! I love working with young learners and helping them discover the magic of reading and writing. With 9 years of teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of guiding students in a 1st-3rd grade Montessori classroom and even teaching math at the Middle School. My favorite thing about working with students is building their confidence as learners.
When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading all kinds of books, from adventure stories to funny comics, and I believe that everyone can find a story that sparks their imagination. Outside of the classroom, you’ll often find me hiking, cooking, or spending time with family.
I can’t wait to see you grow as a reader and writer this summer!
Miss Karen | The Literacy Camp® Teacher & Assistant Director
Hi! I'm Miss Karen & I can't wait to teach at The Literacy Camp® again this summer for the 6th time!
Over my 21 years of teaching, I have taught all grades 1-8, and this year taught 1st grade! I am also a teacher to my four girls, ranging in age from 5 to 13.
Through my years of teaching, I have also enjoyed fostering a love for reading & writing in students in addition to a love of math! There is something about the joy a kid gets from reading a book, or the way that they can make words come to life in their own writing, that just makes my heart happy.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy reading with my girls, playing games & doing puzzles. I also love being outside & just spending time with family!
I can't wait to have fun at Literacy Camp with all the kiddos again this summer!
Miss Justine | The Literacy Camp® Lead Teacher
Hello! I’m Miss Justine and I am so excited for the opportunity to be working at The Literacy Camp® again this summer! This will be my 5th year helping lead Team Literacy Camp!
I am a Central Michigan University alumni with my Bachelors in Elementary Education & Major in Integrated Sciences. I have taught second grade at Lockwood Elementary in Eaton Rapids for 5 years & a split first/second grade class the last 3 years! I have been volunteering in K-3 classrooms since 2012. The majority of that time was spent in third grade with my third grade teacher!
In my spare time, I enjoy puzzles, diving into a good book, running & playing countless rounds of golf. My dog, Mortimer, is my sidekick & joins me in the classroom AND on the course!
I look forward to another summer at Literacy Camp & helping provide new skills to build a love for reading & writing in our young learners!
See you this summer!

Hi there! I’m Miss Sabrina and I’m incredibly excited to take on my first year at The Literacy Camp this summer!
I live in Grand Ledge and teach 3rd grade in Charlotte! I’m wrapping up my 7th year of teaching! I attended Eastern Michigan University for college, and student taught in Williamston before receiving my degree in education. The summer after graduation, I took a chance and moved out west to Arizona for my first 2 years of teaching and loved it! I’m a big fan of adventures and doing things that scare you!
While I’ve only taught 3rd grade in my teaching career, I have plenty of experience with all age ranges from teaching & mentor programs since middle school on (childcare center, after school programs, internships, etc.).
I have many hobbies, so in my free time I am always up to something! I love taking my dog on walks and crafting up a storm - I even sell some of those craft items at a store in downtown Grand Ledge - it has been such a fun experience! I also enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time making memories with family and friends.
I can’t wait to meet you all at camp this summer!
