Cyrielle Willa
The seed was planted during a playdate at Kiwanis Park in Bremerton where Co-founders: Robin Cockrel, Colleen Lux, Krystal Meiners, Bridget Morgan, Cyrielle Willa met biweekly rain or shine with their little ones! Born out of dedicated work and passion for outdoor education, Barnacles & Bees would not be the organization it is today without the unconditional support of their friends, families and greater community.
