Dan Worra
首席执行官
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!
凯瑟琳班克斯
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.
我于 2019 年加入科里营，因为我们的使命在社区中所扮演的角色激励并激励着我。我在非营利组织工作了将近十年，而 Camp Korey 是最美丽、最神奇的地方，可以让我与一支优秀的团队一起发挥我的筹款技能。
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. 🎯 ❤️
在我的工作生活中，我喜欢解决问题，支持我的队友，并在任何需要的地方介入，帮助慷慨的人们，使露营成为可能！
阿什莉钱德勒
烹饪总监
你好！我叫 Ashley，是 Korey 营地的烹饪总监，负责营地的餐饮服务。
我于 2021 年夏天开始在 Camp Korey 工作，担任兼职厨房工作人员，并于 2023 年 1 月转为全职工作。小时候，我参加了 6 个夏天的夏令营，并爱上了营地文化以及“自由做我”的坎普精神。作为一个成年人，我是一名彻头彻尾的营地工作人员，在登陆圣奥尔本斯营地之前，我曾在 4 个不同的营地尝试过各种角色；华盛顿州女童子军营地；我在那里担任了 9 个夏天的烹饪总监。
我一直对烹饪充满热情，喜欢食物如何将每个人聚集在一起，无论他们看起来有多么不同。我喜欢忙碌的营地厨房的喧嚣和与快乐的大肚子露营者共度时光的回报。我最喜欢在营地准备的一些食物是比萨饼、意大利面、巧克力饼干，当然还有经典的烤奶酪和自制的厚番茄汤。

尼科尔·埃利斯
社区参与经理
科里营的朋友们大家好！
我的名字是 Nichol Ellis，我很自豪能够成为营地的社区参与经理！我很高兴能成为这个令人惊叹的社区的一部分，并成为营地魔力的一小部分。我有很多年（不需要写数字）的营地和志愿者经历，我坚信营地为所有人带来了难以置信的变革性体验！
作为社区参与经理，我有幸走进社区，分享发生在科里营地的一小部分令人难以置信的事情。我与服务俱乐部交谈，与各种团体分享，网络，参加活动，计划和实施大型企业志愿者团体，并且通常成为啦啦队队长和讲故事的人，讲述营地体验为营员，家庭，员工和志愿者！正式邀请你们来到科里营并参观现场并了解更多信息！此外，我很乐意受邀参加您的下一场活动，向您的团队或团体展示，或者当然，在下一场海鹰队比赛中与您坐在一起！
祝你有美好的一天！
-尼科尔
Nichol 最喜欢的 10 件物品！
10.雏菊！它们是我最喜欢的花。我喜欢雏菊明亮的欢快。有趣的是……这是我的“营地名称”，我会回答的！
9. 我认为木偶戏可能是世界历史上最有趣的事情之一！
8. 我喜欢吉祥物！ Dinger，Bells 的 Bellinghamster 在我心中占有非常特殊的位置！
7. 对我来说，没有什么比现场音乐的力量更美妙的了。一群陌生人聚集在一起，聆听他们共同经历的一首歌的故事。
6. 我喜欢主题和服装，相信蓬蓬裙有魔力！
5. 我喜欢旅行，真正体验人和文化！我什至在巴布亚新几内亚住了 5 个月！
4. 我自愿参加另一个名为 Camp Phoenix 的营地，我们在那里为烧伤幸存者的孩子提供服务！
3. 我是海鹰队的忠实粉丝！我喜欢成为一名 12 岁球员并为我最喜欢的球队加油！
2. 我真的是 2013 年 Kitsap 县海鸥鸣叫冠军！
1. 营地在我心中占有非常特殊的位置。我有幸在 4 个不同的夏令营工作。我于 1997 年开始担任辅导员，然后……剩下的就是历史了。那个夏天是我第一个真正了解自己是谁以及我在这个世界上应该做什么的夏天。从那以后，我一直在努力做到这一点。营地是我们真正做自己的地方。这是一个失败、学习、成长、爱和探索的安全场所。这是一个欢迎我们的不安全感并拥抱我们对社区的需求的地方。这是一个时间很长，阵雨很少而且间隔很远的地方，我们的头发闻起来像篝火，重复唱着营地歌曲，随着谈话的深入，黄昏时分的第一颗星星更加明亮，这是一个终生难忘的地方无尽的内部笑话和永远无法重复的时刻巩固了友谊。营地是我们所有人的归属地。

Polly Hopkins
Major Gifts Officer
Hello! I’m Polly Hopkins and I’m delighted to be Camp Korey’s Major Gifts Officer. My role is to connect philanthropically minded people with the opportunity to help camp grow and thrive, increasing the number of children and families we can welcome.
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.
Malon Kelly
Communications Coordinator
Hello! My name is Malon Kelly, and I am a part of the Communications Team here at Camp Korey. My role is dedicated to assisting our wonderful Communications Director, Christy Lyman, with telling the stories of camp and developing engaging content to share our stories with the community.
Through my background in community organizing around healthcare access and workers’ rights, I fell in love with the power of storytelling. It was this love that led me to transition my career to communications about five years ago. 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!
Melanie Kooch
职员会计师
Hello! My name is Melanie Kooch, the Staff Accountant here at Camp Korey.
My day consists of making sure the financial transactions, records, and reports make for a healthy sustainable organization..i.e. (coffee) Bean Counter. I LOVE working for a nonprofit that allows children to experience a magical moment in their lives and forget about their medical conditions. Their smiles say it all.
In my off time, I enjoy spending time with my family (my 💜)…knitting 🧶… and spending time with friends 👭.
克里斯蒂莱曼
Director of Communications
Hey there, I’m Christy Lyman, the Director of Communications here at Camp Korey.
My days at camp are a mix of weaving compelling stories, generating innovative content, and designing materials that foster the connection between camp and our community. My goal at camp is 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?
佩奇麦金托什
义工经理
你好！
我是 Paige，我是 Camp Korey 的志愿者经理！
早在 2008 年（当时我 17 岁），我就开始参与科里营。我做过志愿者、暑期职员和实习生，现在是一名全职志愿者经理。从成为一名志愿者开始，到现在能够招募和支持这么多了不起的志愿者，并看到营地改变了他们的生活，这真是一个完整的循环时刻！除了招募和支持志愿者，我还做很多行政工作，比如确保我有志愿者需要的所有文件，以及收集所有志愿者人数和时间以供数据使用。 😊
我一生都住在华盛顿州。我毕业于西华盛顿大学，获得治疗娱乐学士学位和心理学辅修学位。我喜欢玩/看体育比赛（尤其是足球）、跳舞、玩拼图和文字/数字游戏、尝试新餐厅，以及尽可能多地与朋友和家人在一起！

Abby Parnell
招生协调员
Hey there! I am Abby Parnell, the Admissions Coordinator at Camp Korey.
In my position, I’m fortunate to serve as one of the initial touch-points for campers and families, guiding them through the admissions journey. I am dedicated to supporting them throughout the entire application process, striving to ensure it’s seamless and free from unnecessary stress. It’s my hope to help families have a smooth application process so they can experience camp to the fullest! I know camp can be such a transformative time, where lasting memories are forged. I am driven by a deep passion to help others experience Camp Korey!
When not at camp I can be found in my hammock reading a great book or possibly strolling a local farmers market. My husband and I love looking for local ingredients to cook a new meal together. I am an outdoor enthusiast who lived in Montana for 15 years and never turned down an adventure! If music is playing, I can’t help but dance! I am a coffee lover and enjoy exploring shorelines with my fun-loving Golden Retriever, Sperry.
仁肖
Nursing Director
大家好，我是 Jen Shaw，Camp Korey 的护理主任。
我担任儿科护士已有 17 年，在全职来到科里营之前，我是西雅图儿童医院的 ICU 护士和风险护士。我仍然在紧急护理部门的西雅图儿童医院按日工作，并且喜欢在营员必须去医院时见到他们。我也是一名护理讲师，教授 PALS（儿科高级生命支持）。
我丈夫和我共有 6 个孩子和一个孙子，我们的一个女儿也是露营者。我的两只狗 Leo 和 Shadow 整个夏天都和我一起住在营地，许多营员很高兴在营地时回来看望这些狗。
在业余时间，我和家人喜欢远足、穿雪鞋、露营、骑自行车、一起玩游戏和旅行。
科特尼·史密斯
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.
