As waterfront director, Wendy Okun oversees the staff and activities at our pools and lakes. Her goals for the summer are to keep everyone safe, happy, and wet. No one leaves Timber Lake without knowing how to swim! She has been at our camp for eighteen years, and watched her three children grow up here. She is patiently waiting for her first grandson to become old enough to be a Timber Lake camper.
In the evening she finally dries off enough to work in the canteen, where she can shmooze with all the campers and nobly resist the goodies that surround her (except for the irresistible frozen yogurt).
In the world outside of Timber Lake she has been a math teacher in both high school and college for thirty-six years. She is now retiring from her full time teaching job, but will continue to work part-time at a local college and continue tutoring.
