Owner & Instructor
Hello! My name is Miss Colleen. I am the owner of Stutelage Innovations, and I am excited to spend our 14th summer camp season with your children! I taught in the classroom for 14 years as both a literacy/math specialist and a 5th-grade general education teacher in a co-taught special education classroom. Two years ago, I left the classroom to take my love for entrepreneurship deeper and grow Stutelage full-time! I love to travel, cook, and read. I have a new puppy, named Flynn, who keeps me busy as well! When it comes to camps, I pride myself on being organized and thinking outside of the box. I am teaching my favorite camp again this year – Slime Time! I am looking forward to a schedule full of 10 new ooey-gooey slimes. I am teaching at our East Amherst location.
