About the Teachers:

Hey there! I’m Katie Schultz. I was born and raised in the countryside of northern Minnesota. I am currently studying Art Education and Art History at UMD Duluth. Having a lifelong love for the outdoors, I am inspired to connect the arts with the natural world. With experience in child development, student teaching, and paraprofessional support, I’m excited to encourage your child’s creativity and individuality through the arts and environment at Camp Milkweed.

Hi, all! My name is Aaron Ropers-Huilman, and I’m looking forward to working as a counselor and teacher at Camp Milkweed! Raised in St. Paul, I learned the importance of adventure in nature when I moved to Duluth pursuing my undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota Duluth. From day one, I was bitten by the “nature bug”, igniting a passion for the outdoors that just kept growing, eventually leading me to switch majors to Environmental and Outdoor Education- a path which led me to working with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as a naturalist corps intern. With experience working alongside kids ranging from teaching snowshoeing to kindergarteners to working at the Minnesota Children’s Museum, I hope to use my passion for the outdoors to ignite the same life-changing desire in any who come to camp!
