Passionate about making an impact Allison Klee graduated in three years from SUNY New Paltz with a degree in Human Services. She had worked at Stomping Ground for three summers and fallen in love with the community, mission, and most of all each camper she had a chance to play with or help work through a difficult situation. Not satisfied with the way things had always been done, she is driving Stomping Grounds storytelling, parent communication, restorative practices, and staff recruitment to the next level. She helps other camps onboard their staff, is an avid volunteer in the community, and never willing to settle for good enough. Selflessly, Klee makes so much more possible for Stomping Ground both in off season recruiting and with kids and staff each summer.

Jack struggles with rules, hearing no, and sitting still, in all the best and worst ways. He and Laura Kriegel are the founders of Camping Coast to Coast, where they spent 2½ years traveling the country. They visited more than 200 summer camps, searching for ways to bring more kids to better camps. Passionate about creating a place where play could thrive, Jack and Laura put these ideas into action, founding Stomping Ground, an overnight camp dedicated to radical empathy, self-direction, and reimagining a world where more is possible. He is a Directors’ Camp facilitator and co-founder of The Summer Camp Society.  Jack has a degree in industrial engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. He is an entrepreneur, an ideas-generator, and a creative yet systematic problem-solver.
