Meet The Camp Agape Northwest Board
-

Christina Bradic
Camp Director, Board President
I’ve been a volunteer with Camp Agape Northwest since 1998 and once I got involved, never looked back. I have served on and off the board in various roles, including board president since 2022. Currently I am honored to serve as director alongside my husband.
Camp is full of fun, laughter, and truly magical moments. And while it brings so much joy to others, I keep coming back because it centers me. Camp reminds me of what really matters - love, resilience, and the power of community.

Ljubomir Bradic
Camp Director
I started volunteering with Camp Agape Northwest in 2005 and have pretty much done it all - from flipping pancakes in the kitchen to making milkshakes, to being a buddy. Currently, I am serving as director along with my wife.
No matter the role, I always feel lucky to be a part of a week that brings so much joy and connection to kids with cancer and their families. Camp is a place where fun and laughter meet deep purpose, and it’s an honor to help be a part of that space year after year.

I love volunteering at Camp Agape Northwest because it is truly my favorite place to be.
