There are a few people who really keep us afloat year round. Meet the brave souls behind the scenes of the Wayfinder Experience.

Corinne grew up a in military family and lived in a number of wonderful places as a child, before settling in Virginia Beach. It was while attending the Virginia Beach Friends School that she first encountered Wayfinder [then known as Adventure Game Theater] and discovered her passion for building strong, supportive communities while running around in fairy wings. Fifteen years later, she is still passionate about this work, and considers the friends she made at camp part of her family. (They even have a 45-person 2nd Thanksgiving every year!) Over the last twelve years, Corinne has worked every staff position at camp, directed over-night and day camps, and served on the Hiring Board. Before taking over full-time management of Wayfinder, she taught art, worked in bakeries and bookshops, studied massage therapy, managed a juice bar and a cupcake shop. She loves cooking, reading, and her mother.
