Hello!  I am Romi and have been with Camp Indianola since April 2024.  What a great journey it has been so far!  Growing up in Slovakia, I used to attend Christian summer camps on a yearly basis.  Camp, coupled with regular worship attendance and active involvement in the life of a Christian community, has helped me to answer the call to ministry.  After sixteen years in the parish ministry, three of those in The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and thirteen in The United Methodist Church, I followed my spouse to Washington State, where I have had the privilege to accept the position of Office Administrator at Camp Indianola.  It has been such a blessing to interact with campers and their families, pastors and their congregations, teachers and students from surrounding schools, as well as all other guest groups that choose Camp Indianola for their retreats.  Each day at Camp Indianola is an adventure to celebrate!  In my free time I like to take day trips, or travel and camp with my family.  I enjoy photography, kayaking, biking and hiking, as well as reading and writing, and I welcome any opportunity to talk about the Bible and Christ-centered ministry.

I have been going to Camp Indianola for retreats and summer camps for as long as I can remember. Many of my favorite childhood memories were made at United Methodist camps. As a kid, I loved how this community made me feel comfortable to take on challenges and encouraged me to be my most silly self. It has brought me so much joy to be a part of creating these experiences for campers and guests during the past few years volunteering and working as summer site staff at Camp Indianola. This spring I graduated with bachelor’s degrees in environmental studies and journalism from Western Washington University. I am so excited to use my skills to find more ways for people to connect with camp!
