OUR TEAM

GREETINGS FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Our staff, counselors, and volunteers at Camp Beausite learn way more from our campers than they do from us!

amp Beausite Northwest is so incredibly fortunate to have such a skilled and dedicated staff to care for our campers, programs, and facilities. Our staff are handpicked with care – not only for their experience – but for their invaluable ability to support our community with understanding, compassion, and respect. CBNW has a small full-time team that ensures the smooth operations of our organization and the support of our camps and retreats on a year-round basis. Additionally, we are lucky to be surrounded by dedicated seasonal and part-time staff and volunteers that ensure the remarkable delivery of our programs.

All CBNW staff and volunteers go through an extensive interview process, complete with background and reference checks. Once the decision is made to bring them onto the CBNW team, they go through a rigorous camp training course to create the best support for our campers, customers, and their community. Our staff are trained and certified in CPR/First Aid, Archery, and a myriad of other certifications. We also participate in local, regional, and national professional development opportunities and courses through the American Camp Association.

Camp Beausite Northwest is a safe and welcoming place for all because of the incredible amount of passion and commitment that is brought about by the camp staff family. We are all here because of you, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to serve and support.

JENNIFER “Spicy” SCHRADER

CAMPER CARE DIRECTOR

Years at Camp: Since 2022

Hi, I’m Jennifer Schrader, the Camper Care Director at Camp Beausite Northwest. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of wearing many hats at camp, including health officer, food service director, and a support role in various areas. I am thrilled to begin this new chapter in overseeing registration and the care of our campers. I truly feel lucky in life – I’ve been married to my wonderful husband Scott for over 20 years, and together we have two amazing daughters. Our family has grown even more as we’ve been foster parents for several years.

Outside of camp, I’m an avid animal lover, enjoy spending time outdoors, and can’t resist warm weather. I’m so excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to continue serving our camp community!

MEG “Snooze” OLIVER

PROGRAM DIRECTOR

Years at Camp: Since 2025

Ever since my first day at Summer Camp, I knew I never wanted to leave! I quickly realized that camp is my passion! I started my camp journey in 2014 at Camp Okizu in Northern California and stayed there as a Unit Leader and the Program Director until 2024! As of this year, I’m so excited to join the Beausite family as the Program Director!

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from California State University, Chico in 2024 with a Bachelors of Science in Recreation, Hospitality, and Park Management. I was a part of the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, Chico Hillel, Associated Students, and volunteered with Special Olympics Northern California.

When I’m not running around camp, I love spending time with my fur babies, going to concerts, reading, crocheting, traveling, and watching movies!

MARK “Sparky” LAVAREY

FACILITIES MANAGER

Years at Camp: Since 2024

I am so excited to be a part of the CBNW family as the facilities manager! I have a ton of experience over the years from going to school for video and sound engineering to building snow boards with Mervin Manufacturing to being a part of the facilities team at Newport Healthcare. I have an incredible love for the campers we serve and can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you.

I’m passionate about being outdoors, going on road trips and traveling adventures, and making music. I live just down the road with my wife, Raina, and our fur kids Beau, Franklin, Gus, and Wyatt. I have a wonderful son who lives in Ireland and I can’t wait to get back across the big pond to visit him.

Email Mark for all your rental and retreat needs or any questions you might have about our facilities.

RAINA “Storm” BAKER

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Years at Camp: Since 2019

I have spent almost my entire life at camp – first as a camper, then CIT, counselor, horse riding staff, program director, and camp director. I am beyond excited to be a part of the CBNW team supporting our camper’s ability to have the Camp Experience. I grew up in Jefferson County and am overjoyed to be giving back to this community and beyond.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Washington State University (Go Cougs!) and a master’s degree from Gonzaga in Organizational Leadership. I am a certified master instructor and certifier for the Certified Horsemanship Association. Before joining the CBNW team, I spent 5 years working for the American Camp Association as the membership manager supporting the work of the camp industry across the nation.

In my time away from camp I can be found riding my horse, traveling, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. I live just 4 miles away from camp in Chimacum with my husband, Mark, and several 4-legged furry family members.
