Leadership Development Team
After graduating from Ohio State, Kelly spent several years facilitating groups with identified Middle and High School students throughout Franklin County. She moved to Cincinnati in 1996 and started working with the Alcohol and Chemical Abuse Council in Butler County, where she continued to work with young people in a variety of settings. In 2012, after spending some time at home with her 3 children, she found Camp Joy, where she could combine her love of experiential learning and the outdoors. She is currently enjoying working with the VO! team as a Program Coordinator and Adjunct Facilitator.
Paul graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a communications degree that focused on interpersonal/small group communication, with an emphasis on organizational development. He first discovered Camp Joy in the summer of 1992 when he served as a summer camp counselor. In the years that followed, he worked for every program at Camp Joy.
In the winter of 1999, Paul left Camp Joy to gain different experiences and explore other professions. He worked in the corporate world and also worked for himself. However, in 2010, he decided to return to Joy and continue to foster his love of experiential learning.
Apart from his work at Camp Joy, Paul enjoys spending time with his family, the outdoors, and working with his hands. He and his family spend a lot of time working in their garden and creating a habitat that supports native plant and animal species at their suburban home.
