Paige Jergens

Story: Paige joined the Riverside team as Program Coordinator in May 2025 and transitioned into the Program Director role in February 2026. She is originally from Marengo, Iowa, but grew up on a farm in Tama County. Paige is the oldest of seven kids and is the mom to a goldendoodle named Wallen. Paige graduated from Iowa State University in May of 2024 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business. She loves to line dance, play guitar, go on walks with her dog, listen to music/podcasts, and spend time with friends and family!

Paige worked at Riverside in the summer of 2024 as a cabin leader and loved it! She has a passion for teaching and spreading the Good News, which eventually brought her back to Riverside less than a year after she thought she was done with camp ministry. Talking about Jesus has always come natural to Paige, but working in agriculture was always the path she figured she would take due to it being a huge part of her life growing up. Paige has learned and is continuing to learn that God’s plan is not necessarily the plan we have for ourselves. She loves His sense of humor. 🙂

Paige’s favorite parts of working at Riverside are dancing/worshiping in the Chapel, building relationships with summer staff and campers, hanging out at the pool, and seeing God work in a variety of ways!
