ST. JOAN OF ARC SUMMER DAY CAMP

Kelli Brabson: My name is Kelli Brabson and my camp name is Blue. I’m so excited to be a supervisor this summer! This will be my fourth year working at camp. In May, I graduate from Clemson University with a major in History and minors in Legal Studies and Spanish Studies. In August, I start law school at the University of Georgia. My time at camp has inspired me to go into the area of family law. When I’m not studying, some of my favorite things to do are working out, traveling, and watching sports. I’m looking forward to another fun summer!

Markus Rupnow: My name is Markus Rupnow and my camp name is McQueen. This is going to be my third summer working at the Oconomowoc Summer Day Camp and my first summer as a supervisor. I am graduating from Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, MN in May where I majored in Social Studies Education while minoring in History. At Gustavus, I was on both the Cross Country and Track and Field teams serving as a captain for both teams. Before working for the Y, I worked for multiple after-school care programs during high school. Outside of work, I love to spend time with my family and friends and spend time outdoors running, hiking, and biking. One fun fact about me is that I have three brothers!

Stephanie Warren: My name is Stephanie Warren and my camp name is Poppy. I am a Youth Development Coordinator who has been with the YMCA since August of 2019. This year will be my 4th year of Summer Camp! I have completed courses through UW Whitewater about Education in a Pluralistic Society, and multiple courses regarding Inclusive Practices. Through my years at Camp, I have worked with many age groups and enjoy the fast-paced environment, and spending much of my time outdoors. Outside of work, I spend time with my husband and baby girl. We enjoy time outside during the warm weather and reading with our little one when the weather is cold. I am greatly looking forward to another amazing summer at Camp!

Madison Ruklic: My name is Madison Ruklic and my camp name is Louis. I am thrilled to be serving as a camp supervisor this summer! This marks my third year with the YMCA, and I’ve enjoyed every moment as part of the camp staff. Originally from Edwardsville, IL, which is close to St. Louis (hence my camp nickname), I spent a year working at the YMCA in my hometown as a childcare and fitness center staff. In May 2025 I will be graduating from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point with a degree in Early Childhood Education and working as a teacher in a district near Oconomowoc this fall. Working with children is one of my many passions. Additionally, during the summer, I coach for Impact Hockey Academy in Delafield. Growing up, I mainly played ice hockey and soccer, but was fortunate enough to play just about every sport under the sun. A fun fact about me is that I played on my high schools men’s varsity ice hockey team! Some other hobbies I have include snow skiing, weight lifting, traveling, golfing, and painting. I can’t wait for camp this summer and I am excited to get to know each and every camper and their families!

Carter Till: My name is Carter Till and my camp name is Yeli. I will be one of the camp supervisors this summer. I have been at the Y for so many years I lost track. When I am not working summer camp I am a 3rd grade teacher at St. Jerome Parish School in Oconomowoc. Outside of camp I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, and reading. I also love swimming during the summer and skiing/snowboarding during the winter. I am very excited to be back at Camp this summer and go on so many fun field trips with the kids.

Jackson Seefeldt: My name is Jackson Seefeldt and my camp name is Biff. I am one of the YMCA Summer Day Camp supervisors this summer. I am coming up on my third summer with the YMCA at Pabst Farms and cannot wait to start camp! I am currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater and Majoring in Special Education. I have been fortunate enough to experience camp at the staff, lead, and now supervisor level which has allowed for me to grow in my experience, create bonds with the kiddos, and make memories I will never forget. A fun fact about myself is that I have a lot of animals. I have five dogs, two cats, four goats, two horses, and chickens! Some of my favorite hobbies include fishing, paintball, snowboarding, and hanging out with friends. I am so excited for camp this summer and can’t wait to meet all of the kiddos and families that will be joining us to experience a fun and exciting summer camp!

Alyssa Meier: My name is Alyssa Meier and my camp name is Flower. This is my 3rd summer at the YMCA and my second as a supervisor; during the school year, I work as a site lead at one of our Hartland schools. I moved back to the area from Spokane, WA in 2023 after completing my BA in Psychology with minors in English and Leadership Studies. A fun fact about myself is I’ve traveled to all 50 states and moved 7 times! I love to take road trips or just stay home reading my books. I’m excited to meet our 2025 campers soon!
