Meet Our Directors — Over 80 Years Combined Experience
Maggie & Bob Braun, Directors
Maggie and Bob, Directors of WeHaKee, have been committed camping professionals and youth development advocates for most of their lives. They are both respected members of the camping community and are sought after to present locally, regionally, and nationally on camping and youth development topics. As a married couple, they have been a director team in camping for over 25 years, with the last two decades dedicated to WeHaKee Camp for Girls. Having raised two daughters of their own, they understand the unique value of an all-girl experience in the development of girls and young women. They are committed advocates for the enhancement of independence, confidence, resilience, and successful leadership through vital resident camp experiences for girls.
At WeHaKee, Maggie and Bob lead the annual creation of a nurturing camp community. This community is designed to instill a profound sense of belonging and self-worth in each camper from the moment they arrive. The nurturing environment ensures that each camper gains the confidence they need to step beyond their comfort levels, try new things, and meet new people, all while discovering their authentic selves in ways never imagined. All this is filtered through the values of Kindness, Truth, Justice and Peace – the core tenets of the community that is WeHaKee!
Maggie and Bob know how important it is for each family to find the right fit for their child for them to blossom on their camp journey. To do so, we invite you to arrange a time to speak with Maggie and Bob directly to learn about all that WeHaKee provides for your child’s growth and development in fun and exciting ways! We look forward to exploring the possibilities for your daughter and seeing if a WeHaKee summer is the great choice for the summer of her life!

Stacie Simpson & Cory Harrison, Co-Directors
Stacie and Cory are highly respected and experienced camp professionals, and we are thrilled to welcome them to the WeHaKee leadership team. With over 30 years of combined experience leading camps across the Girl Scouts, YMCA, and private sectors, they bring a depth of knowledge, warmth, and vision that makes them the perfect pair to continue the legacy of WeHaKee.
Originally from central Wisconsin, Stacie has led camps throughout the Midwest and most recently served as Director at YMCA Camp Greenville in South Carolina. She is known for her thoughtful leadership, inclusive spirit, and ability to build meaningful relationships with campers and families. Cory has spent the last two decades in year-round camp leadership, with a focus on staff development, operations, and creating programs that help kids thrive & develop into great humans.
Together, they have led a co-ed camp for the past ten years and are now excited to return to the Northwoods to join WeHaKee. During the 2026 summer, they will serve as Co-Directors, supporting and working closely with Directors Maggie and Bob. They’ll spend the season learning about WeHaKee, meeting families, and immersing themselves in the people, place, and traditions that make camp so special. After next summer, Stacie and Cory will step into the role of Directors, carrying forward the heart and mission of WeHaKee while guiding it into its next 100 years.
This is a once-in-a-generation leadership transition, and we couldn’t be more confident or excited about what’s ahead.
Stacie Simpson and Cory Harrison
Messages from Our Camp Directors
I’m Maggie and I am thrilled and honored to be involved with WeHaKee Camp for Girls and all of the tradition and history that is a part of this incredible camp.
Before arriving at WeHaKee Camp for Girls, my husband Bob and I directed a camp in northern Minnesota for a number of years. Prior to that I worked for the Girls Scouts in a number of positions – as a camp director, as an executive director in central Wisconsin, and as the Chief Operating Officer of the St. Croix Valley Girl Scouts in St. Paul, Minnesota.
These have been wonderful opportunities, but I can honestly say that providing leadership at WeHaKee Camp for Girls is the most rewarding experience I have had. This is truly a special and unique place!
This is Bob and I too, am very excited to be working with my wife at this exceptional camp for girls.
It amazes me how much the single-gender camp environment allows girls and young women to blossom in ways not possible elsewhere. Prior to working with Maggie at our previous camp, I was a school counselor at the elementary and middle school level in Minnesota. And before that I spent several years as a high school and middle school band director.
Like Maggie, I enjoyed my work in these settings, but the position at WeHaKee Camp for Girls has been exceptionally fulfilling and a whole lot of fun!
