Hi, I’m Julie Seitz-Brummer!

My name is Julie Seitz-Brummer. I live in Newfane with my super sweet, patient, supportive husband, Henry. We were both born and raised here for most of our lives. We are so proud of our little town and love to give back however we can. We have two awesome sons, Tyler and Brayden. Tyler is my inside-the-house computer, VR, music-loving, expert. Brayden is our always outside, baseball-basketball-all sports, all-the-time, kid! I can't forget my four-legged daughters, Nike, our snooty black cat and our rescue puppy Luna, who keeps us on our toes with her silliness! What a blessing Challenge Island has been to my family! After an accident, I was unable to return to my Second Grade classroom after teaching for 20 years. I love teaching and knew I needed to find some new way to help and inspire the children and families in my community. Challenge Island is it! Living in a rural area, we don't always have the same opportunities bigger cities have. Challenge Island gives me the ability to bring amazing, exciting, educational experiences to our smaller communities. We are so proud to be a Program on Demand Partner with the Girl Scouts of WNY, offering Badge and Journey workshops from Jamestown to Fairport! Schools from Springville to Medina have enjoyed In-School Field Trips, Virtual classes and Family STEAM nights. Challenge Island Camps and Kids Night Out at AJs Play Date, WAHI Studios, Niagara Shores, Tonawanda Parks & Rec and Camp Windy Meadows are so much fun! We have done STEAMbuilding workshops with baseball and basketball teams across WNY, and even at a Thirty-One Bag Convention! We are looking forward to bringing even more wonderful opportunities to our kids and families in WNY!
