About Cory

Cory Harrison has spent more than two decades in year-round camp leadership. Most recently he served as VP of Overnight Camping at YMCA Camp Greenville, one of the country's largest residential camps. For the past ten years, he and Stacie led a co-ed camp together before coming to WeHaKee in 2026.

His background is operational: staff development, program design, the infrastructure that makes a good summer actually possible. At WeHaKee, that translates into a camp that runs well and feels intentional, from how counselors are trained to how every session is built around what girls actually need.

Vision for Camp WeHaKee

I'm the dad of a 12-year-old girl. I watch how much pressure still exists for her to stay pristine. Be careful. Be composed. Don't scrape your knees. Don't be too loud. Don't take up too much space. Over time, that pressure teaches girls to avoid risk instead of build resilience. WeHaKee is built around the opposite of that. Dirt is good. We mean the literal kind, after a day with the horses or by the lake. But we also mean the mess that comes from trying something hard, missing the mark, being awkward and unsure and still showing up. That's where confidence actually comes from.
