Born and raised in Des Moines, Sadie Lage has been an active member of the CYC community since she began camping at the St. Thomas More Center in 2007. She graduated with a degree in Sociology from Creighton University before returning to complete a Master's in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution. Sadie worked in service and justice ministry at Creighton University until her passion for Catholic Youth Camp and its mission led her back to the St. Thomas More Center. Over the years, Sadie has led CYC's ministry with contagious enthusiasm from all angles by offering her time as a volunteer counselor, summer staff member, and volunteer director. In 2022, she was thrilled to continue her involvement at CYC by stepping into the role of Camp Director to work with our community's youth as they encounter Christ each summer. Over the past two summers as Camp Director her favorite parts of her job have been watching all of the campers, counselors and summer staff grow each summer and playing camper vs counselor/staff soccer on Sundays.
