When Tracy heard in April 2021 that a camp with horses, goats, pigs, and a mini mule was joining the MCHS Family, she was pumped! As she learned more in the coming months about The Fowler Center and their mission to provide people of all abilities a great camp experience, she was hooked. Though Tracy spent the past 22 years in HR, 4.5 of them with MCHS, her first job out of college was working with adults with developmental disabilities, which quickly became a passion. While Tracy loved working in HR, the opportunity to get further involved with two of her passions (animals being the second) proved too tempting, and Tracy jumped at the chance to lead The Fowler Center’s amazing team. Tracy loves watching our campers enjoy all we have to offer!

Before joining our camp team, Brent spent the last 10 years as a corrections officer. He was excited to move over to camp and spend his days outside making sure campers and staff have a safe and healthy place to call their “home away from home”. When not at work Brent enjoys camping, spending time with his family, riding his motorcycle, and eating as much spicy food as possible.

Haylee discovered the Fowler Center while looking for a summer job and quickly realized it was the perfect fit. A lifelong horse enthusiast who also worked as a school bus and carriage driver, she found that Fowler combined her love of horses with her passion for working with children and adults with disabilities. Now serving as the Lead Barn Assistant, Haylee enjoys helping campers connect with the horses she loves so much. When she’s not at camp, you can still find her driving horse carriages or taking kids on after-school adventures.

Yvonne, originally from Pennsylvania, has always had a deep love for animals. As a young girl, she saved diligently to fulfill her dream of owning a pony, which she achieved in the sixth grade! Prior to joining camp as a Barn Assistant, Yvonne gained valuable experience working as a veterinary assistant and an office manager. She is passionate about caring for animals, whether they are her own pets or the animals here at camp. Yvonne is thrilled to be part of the camp community, where she can help and have fun with the campers while taking care of the animals.
