Dan Worra
Director ejecutivo
Hi! I’m Dan Worra, and I could not be more excited to be Camp Korey’s new CEO. When I first heard about Camp Korey, I knew I wanted to be a part of the team, and as I learned more, I knew this was the place for me. I love being with kids; how could you not be thrilled to be a part of the team creating empowering, adaptive year-round programs for children dealing with life-altering medical conditions and their families, completely free of charge?
I appreciate what Camp Korey and Skagit County have to offer, and I work hard to promote a positive workplace environment. My mantra is “mission, family, work hard, have fun.” I believe in strength through diversity – workplace diversity, community diversity, and national diversity. Quite simply, “we all have different strengths, and through communication and understanding, we can accomplish great things.”
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and taking advantage of many of the great opportunities the Northwest has to offer, including boating in the San Juan Islands, skiing in the Cascades, hiking throughout our community forestlands, and the occasional round of golf.
I look forward to meeting you!

¡Hola, amigos del Campamento Korey!
¡Mi nombre es Nichol Ellis y estoy orgulloso de ser el Gerente de participación comunitaria del campamento! Estoy muy emocionada de ser parte de esta increíble comunidad y ser una pequeña parte de la magia del campamento. Vengo de muchos (no es necesario ponerle un número) años de experiencia en campamentos y voluntariado, ¡y creo firmemente en la experiencia increíblemente transformadora que el campamento tiene para todos!
En mi rol como Gerente de Compromiso con la Comunidad, tengo el privilegio de salir a la comunidad y compartir una pequeña parte de las cosas increíbles que suceden aquí en Camp Korey. Hablo en clubes de servicio, comparto con varios grupos, trabajo en red, asisto a eventos, planifico e implemento grandes grupos de voluntarios corporativos y, en general, llego a ser una animadora y narradora de la belleza que las experiencias de campamento ofrecen a los campistas, las familias, el personal y voluntarios! ¡Están todos invitados oficialmente a venir al Campamento Korey y recorrer el sitio y aprender más! Además, me encantaría que me invitaran a su próximo evento para presentarlo a su equipo o grupo, o por supuesto, ¡para sentarme con ustedes en el próximo juego de los Seahawks!

Top 10 Lista de las cosas favoritas de Nichol!
10. ¡Margaritas! Son mi flor favorita. Me encanta la brillante alegría de las margaritas. Y un dato curioso... ¡es mi "nombre de campamento" y responderé a él!
9. ¡Creo que los espectáculos de marionetas pueden ser algunas de las cosas más divertidas en la historia del mundo!
8. ¡Me encantan las mascotas! ¡Dinger, el Bellinghamster for the Bells ocupa un lugar muy especial en mi corazón!
7. Para mí, no hay nada más hermoso que el poder de la música en vivo. Un grupo de extraños que se reúnen para escuchar la historia de una canción que todos están experimentando individualmente juntos.
6. ¡Me encantan los temas y los disfraces y creo que hay magia en un tutú!
5. ¡Me encanta viajar y experimentar verdaderamente personas y culturas! ¡Incluso viví en Papúa Nueva Guinea durante 5 meses!
4. ¡Soy voluntario para otro campamento llamado Camp Phoenix donde servimos a niños que son sobrevivientes de quemaduras!
3. ¡Soy un gran fanático de los Seahawks! ¡Me encanta ser un 12 y animar a mi equipo favorito!
2. De hecho, ¡soy el campeón del canto de gaviotas del condado de Kitsap 2013!
1. El campamento ocupa un lugar muy especial en mi corazón. He tenido el privilegio de trabajar en 4 campamentos de verano diferentes. Empecé como orientadora en 1997 y… el resto es historia. Ese verano fue el primer verano en el que realmente entendí quién era yo y lo que estaba destinado a hacer en este mundo. Me he esforzado por hacer eso desde entonces. El campamento es un lugar donde realmente llegamos a ser nosotros mismos. Es un lugar seguro para fallar, aprender, crecer, amar y explorar. Es un lugar para dar la bienvenida a nuestras inseguridades y aceptar nuestra necesidad de comunidad. Es un lugar donde las horas son largas, las duchas son pocas y esporádicas, nuestro cabello huele a fogata, las canciones del campamento se repiten, las primeras estrellas del crepúsculo brillan más a medida que las conversaciones se profundizan, y es un lugar donde toda la vida las amistades se solidifican a través de interminables bromas internas y momentos que nunca se pueden repetir. El campamento es un lugar al que todos pertenecemos.

Director of Communications
I’m dedicated to serving and collaborating with our community, effecting positive change, and helping people – these are the passions that fuel me as a human.
Hey there, I’m Christy Lyman, the Director of Communications for Camp Korey.
My days at camp are a colorful mix of weaving compelling stories, generating innovative content, and designing materials that foster the connection between camp and our community. My mission? To make sure every family with the potential to benefit from camp knows about all the resources and experiences we offer.
My two best friends are the Oxford comma and a good play on words. You might say I’m pun-stoppable. After all, why use plain language when you can sprinkle a bit of pun-shine on it?
Shannon Staples, MD
Director médico
Hi, my name is Shannon Staples. I am the Medical Director at Camp Korey. I am a Pediatrician who is in charge of the medical care and safety of campers, staff, and volunteers. I am also an Emergency Department physician at Seattle Children’s Hospital for the past 22 years. Being the medical director at CK has been the most rewarding job full of adventure and soul-fulfilling work. I became the medical director after being a volunteer doctor for many years.
I pride myself in creating a fun, exciting, and safe camp experience for all. We have been able to accept more and more medically complex children and expand our condition groups over the last 6 years that I have been at CK. I love working with the programming team to provide innovative activities for our campers and families that help build community both in and outside of camp.
I have lived in Seattle since 2001 but am originally from Atlanta. I went to UW and returned to the south for med school but the entire time I was gone, I was planning for my return to the PNW. I have twin 19-year-old children who have been coming with me to camp for years in different capacities since they were 7. I love to be outside (which is why camp is so amazing in the summer), ski in the winter, and kayak and swim in the summer. Travel is another passion of mine and I am obsessed with Maui and the whales.

kathleen bancos
Associate Director of Development
Hello there! I’m Kathleen, the Associate Director of Development at Camp Korey! In this role, I get to support our team in creating opportunities for our generous community to make an impact through camp and responsibly stewarding donors’ gifts.
Me uní a Camp Korey en 2019 porque el papel que cumple nuestra misión en la comunidad me inspira y me da energía. He estado en el mundo sin fines de lucro durante casi una década y Camp Korey es el lugar más hermoso y mágico para usar mis habilidades de recaudación de fondos junto con un gran equipo.
As a kid, I loved summer camp but you would have found me under a tree reading! At Camp Korey, my favorite activity is anytime I get to try the archery range. 🎯 ❤️
En mi vida laboral, disfruto resolviendo problemas, apoyando a mis compañeros de equipo e interviniendo donde sea necesario para ayudar a las personas generosas que hacen posible el campamento.
Asha Broetje Bairstow
Coordinador de Admisiones
¡Hola! Soy Asha Broetje Bairstow, coordinadora de admisiones en Camp Korey.
En mi función, tengo el privilegio de trabajar muy de cerca con las familias y los campistas, siendo una de las primeras personas con las que interactúan en el proceso de unirse a nuestra familia del campamento. Los acompaño durante todo el proceso de solicitud y hago todo lo posible para que sea lo más fluido y libre de estrés posible, ¡a pesar de los formularios aparentemente interminables que puedo pedirles! 😊
Como Coordinadora de Admisiones, espero ayudar a que las formalidades del proceso de solicitud sean lo más sencillas posible, ¡para que las familias puedan pasar a disfrutar de la magia de nuestro campamento! He tenido el privilegio de desarrollar conexiones con docenas de nuevas familias y ayudarlas a comenzar sus viajes de campamento, ¡y espero continuar haciéndolo durante bastante tiempo!
En mi tiempo libre, mi cachorro Wally y yo disfrutamos de las aventuras en las rutas de senderismo, así como acurrucarnos juntos en el sofá mientras leo un buen libro.
ashley chandler
Director Culinario
¡Hola! Mi nombre es Ashley, y soy la Directora Culinaria del Campamento Korey, responsable de los aspectos del servicio de comidas en el campamento.
Empecé a trabajar con Camp Korey en el verano de 2021 como miembro del personal de cocina a tiempo parcial y pasé a mi puesto de tiempo completo en enero de 2023. Cuando era niña, asistí a un campamento de verano durante 6 veranos y me enamoré de la cultura del campamento. y el espíritu camp de "libre para ser yo". Como adulto, soy miembro del personal del campamento de principio a fin, paso tiempo en 4 campamentos diferentes probando varios roles antes de aterrizar en Camp St. Albans, un campamento de Girl Scouts del estado de Washington; donde me desempeñé como Director Culinario durante 9 veranos.
Siempre me ha apasionado la cocina y me encanta cómo la comida puede unir a todos sin importar cuán diferentes parezcan ser. Me encanta el ajetreo y el bullicio de una cocina de campamento ocupada y la recompensa de pasar tiempo con campistas felices y llenos de panza. Algunas de mis comidas favoritas para preparar en el campamento son la pizza, la pasta, las galletas con chispas de chocolate y, por supuesto, el clásico queso a la parrilla con sopa de tomate casera.
Timoteo Chandonnet

Hola, soy Tim Chandonnet, el jardinero del Campamento Korey.
Mis días típicos en el campamento los paso trabajando en estrecha colaboración con la Madre Naturaleza para mantener y mejorar el hermoso entorno natural del campamento para el beneficio y disfrute de los campistas y el personal.

As a child, attending summer camp in the redwoods of northern California was a life-changing experience for me. It was a place that modeled independence, self-esteem, teamwork, and love of nature. Camp Korey provides these lessons for our campers and families completely free of charge. For those who can’t attend in person, our Camp to You program offers children individualized experiences focused on having fun and taking a moment to step outside of their daily concerns.
In my spare time, you will find me snuggling my rescue kitty, gardening, reading, walking, and swimming in the Salish Sea.

My mission throughout my career has always been to break down barriers and support communities through creativity and joy.
In my after-work life, I am a surrealist painter and share my home with two cats named after great artists, Edgar Allen Paw and Marguerite Purrr-ard. I get immense joy from cooking for people that I love and am always down for a craft or board game night!

Comencé mi participación en Camp Korey en 2008 (cuando tenía 17 años).

Hola, soy Nikki Rossiter y soy la administradora de subvenciones del Campamento Korey. Me encanta poder contarles a las fundaciones y otros patrocinadores la historia de por qué Camp Korey es un lugar tan especial y cómo pueden ayudarnos con nuestra asombroso misión.

Disfruto encontrando maneras de ayudar a nuestro equipo a trabajar mejor juntos usando las herramientas de software que ya tenemos disponibles.
Después del trabajo, por lo general puedes encontrarme disfrutando del tiempo en casa con mi maravilloso esposo y mi perra de tres patas, que no es del tamaño de un regazo, Amber.

kortney smith
Camp Director (Programs)
Hey there! I’m Kortney Smith and I am the Camp Director (Programs).
My journey with Camp Korey began as a camper in 2009. Growing up with the shadow of a diagnosis can be really hard. But I was raised to believe that my medical condition gave me something other kids didn’t have – a unique perspective on life, a superpower.
One reason why I love my job so much is because I can encourage more people to share that perspective. I can help others recognize their superpowers and use them to better the world. Since my time as a camper, I have worn many hats, with my new favorite being Camp Director!
Around camp, you will see me planning, preparing, and executing all things programs, activities, and fun! I also supervise and support an amazing team of seasonal staff who have the uncanny ability to turn traditional activities into uproarious spectacles. At this camp, fun is not just an option – it’s a mandatory skill.
Outside of camp, my time is spent taking up new hobbies, practicing new skills, and learning what it means to be a new mom.
