Staff & Board

Ginger Jackson-Gleich
Executive Director

Ginger first came to Camp as a camper 32 years ago. Ginger received her law degree from Harvard Law School and previously worked as a civil rights and employment lawyer, focused on the intersection of criminal justice and democracy. Before that, she worked at San Francisco University High School and the Utah and Alaska Outward Bound schools. Camp remains one of the most formative influences in her life: it taught her compassion, became an extended family, and instilled ideas about kindness, inclusion, and equity that continue to guide her work to this day. She is a lifelong believer in the fun and magic of camp. Ginger pulls on all of her experiences to lead Camp alongside the dedicated and talented year-round staff and in partnership with the amazing summer staff. Her leadership style is one that is grounded in collaboration and strong integrity and that operates from the heart.
