Meet Sean & Mike
Sean Rekeny
With 20 years of experience at Heartland Hockey Camp, Sean Rekeny has dedicated his career to mentoring campers, building strong programs, and fostering personal growth. His expertise extends to staff leadership, camp operations, and facility maintenance/management. He has also played an integral role in shaping positive camp experiences for countless campers. Sean's commitment to excellence is paralleled by his dedication to his family. He is happily married to his wife, Yvonne, and they share several children together ranging from a senior in college to 3 years of age. A very important part of their children's lives have been their summer camp experience year after year beginning in elementary school. Dr. Yvonne Rekeny is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. After dedicating 2 decades to primary care, she has focused the past 8 years to the field of child abuse pediatrics. She brings with her a wealth of medical knowledge and is excited to volunteer her time at Camp Tanuga.
Sean’s dedication to fostering personal growth, along with his knack for building strong communities, aligns perfectly with Camp Tanuga’s mission. Sean’s focus on teamwork, leadership, and fun ensures that campers will continue to have the life-changing experiences for which Tanuga is known. As he often says, "Success is not just about winning; it's about growing together as a team, family and sharing knowledge through experience."

Mike King
Mike brings over 12 summers of experience at Heartland Hockey Camp, where he excelled in coaching, program development, marketing and creating unforgettable experiences for campers, staff, and even adult campers. With his background in video production, marketing, and a passion for connecting with others, Mike sees Camp Tanuga as the perfect opportunity to combine his skills and creativity. He’s not just a leader but also a husband and a father of two, who understands the importance of providing a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for kids to thrive. Mike’s wife, Allie, is equally passionate about creating positive environments for kids and looks forward to supporting campers and staff in meaningful ways.
“Camp is the place where you challenge yourself, try new things, and build confidence - all while having the time of your life. There’s nothing better.” says Mike.
