Karen Gerton
Rookie Camp Director

Karen has had a long tenure at Camp Louise and is very excited to be taking on her new role as Rookie Camp Director. Having been affiliated with the camps off-and-on for more than 40 years (camper, CIT, counselor, camper parent, staff member, Circle Board member) she is well-versed in its history and traditions and embraces its commitment to the best principles of Jewish camping.

When not attending to camp responsibilities, Karen is the long-time Director of the award-winning Schilit Nursery School at B'nai Israel Congregation in Rockville, Maryland. She is the past chair of the PJLL-affiliated Council of Directors of Jewish Early Childhood Centers. Karen graduated from the University of Maryland where she earned a degree in special education/elementary education. She has also completed the two-year training program "Israel in Our Hearts, Minds and Soul" sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington which included a grant to complete her training in Israel.

After a very successful first year of Rookie Camp, plans are already underway to make next year even better. Come try us out.
