Amanda Sutliff
Chief Operating Officer
Hi, my name is Amanda Sutliff I am St. John’s CCDC and Camp Wild Life’s Chief Operating Officer.
I have been honored to be with St. John’s since 2013. Implementing our Reggio Emilia educational approach and love for the outdoors has created a work environment that I am proud to share with our youngest community members as they grow from our Pre-School students at St. John’s to our School Aged Campers in Camp Wild Life.
I am a proud mother of three courageous girls that love and are as proud to be a part of St. John’s and Camp Wild Life programs as I am. Continuing my education in Early Childhood, Education, Business, and Leadership I am continuously looking to further my knowledge and exposure to the industry.
Seeing our campers experience our mountains, streams, reservoirs, and parks is a privilege and the best part of being with Camp Wild Life. Whether our campers are experienced hikers or paddle boarding for the first time – the joy and excitement each day in our daily adventures make me ever proud and ever grateful to be here.
Chaney Zinn
Chief Executive Officer
I’d like to take a moment to share my journey and the passion that drives me. I hold a degree from Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO, with an emphasis in Public Relations and Marketing. My professional career began in the banking industry, where I gained invaluable experience in business, leadership, and finance.
In 2011, seeking more time with my two young boys, I made a bold career change into early childhood education. I became the CEO of a single struggling preschool housed within St. John’s Lutheran Church in downtown Salt Lake City. It was a leap of faith, but one that ignited a deep passion for shaping young lives and building community.
Since taking over St. John’s Community Child Development Center (CCDC), I am proud to report that we’ve grown into a large thriving organization with five bustling locations and 12 impactful childcare programs (five preschool locations, three after-school programs, and four summer camp sites).
At St. John’s CCDC, our mission extends beyond classrooms. Together with my incredible administrative team, we foster a culture rooted in community and giving back. Through our annual Operation Bee Kind initiative.
I am also a proud alumna of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, which provided me the opportunity to advocate for working parents by meeting with members of Congress in Washington, D.C., to address the childcare shortage. In 2021, I was honored to be named Rocky Mountain Administrator of the Year by the Rocky Mountain Lutheran District. Additionally, I hold a National Administrator Credential and a Woman in Leadership Certificate from Cornell University.
With a deep commitment to empowering women, supporting teachers, and nurturing children, I am passionate about driving innovation and growth at St. John’s CCDC and Camp Wild Live. My focus is on expanding our reach, advocating for improved childcare policies, and ensuring that our programs continue to enrich the lives of children, families, and staff. I am excited to build on our success, engage in meaningful local initiatives, and create a brighter future for the next generation.
