√ Volunteer Superhero– I mean, EMT
√ Rescue Divas Camp Director
Hi, Everyone! Let me introduce myself… I’m Carrie Okey ,
Rescue Divas Camp Director and busy mom of two boys.
Born on a naval base in Oakland, California, I ended up
spending most of my childhood growing up in the suburbs of
Chicago, Illinois. I loved being a Girl Scout, which introduced me to
First Aid and lifeguarding. (I earned my Gold Award for creating a
reforestation program at the summer camp I attended as a kid and
where I eventually became a counselor.) Since then, I have
attended Northland College (graduating with a degree in
Environmental Studies and Outdoor Education), worked for the
School District of Bayfield as their Athletic Director & Recreation
Center Manager for four years, received my EMT-Basic training/
license from WITC in 2003, went on to manage SplAshland
waterpark at the AmericInn and assume the position of Director of
Operations for a total of eight years. Whew!
Now, I work for CEP, Inc. (the Concentrated Employment
Program) managing the Business Services team and working with an
incredible and eclectic group of people who work with youth and
adults. The goal we all share is trying to get people great jobs in
industries that need great people. Blending my passion for helping
businesses find solutions to their workforce needs and my affinity for
EMS, sparked the idea for Rescue Divas. Two grants, and as many
years later, we are ready to welcome our first campers to the
inaugural session of the camp.
I have a lot of energy and love making people laugh, so get
ready for a fun time!
