Meet Our Site Director

ESF FEEDS PASSIONS AND
POWERS SUPERHERO POTENTIAL!

Hello, my name is Tameka Wilkins and I am the Site Director for ESF Norwood. Summer 2025 will mark my 4th summer with ESF! I grew up in Mt. Airy. I have remained a Mt. Airy resident my entire life! I began working for ESF in the summer of 2022 as a floating Camp Director. In this position, I had the pleasure of working at several ESF sites in various camps and programs.   

Outside of camp I work as the Dean of Students at a charter school in Philadelphia, Pa. I am also the mother of three wonderful children, 2 cats, and 1 dog! In my free time I enjoy going on vacation, being at the beach, and most of all spending time with my children! I am a big fan of Harry Potter, Outlander, and I enjoy home decorating, journaling, reading and podcasts!
