Alexandra Kijek, Board of Directors at Friends of Camp Louise

Alexandra first started camping at Camp Louise as a Girl Scout in 2000 and immediately developed aspirations of becoming a camp counselor as soon as she was old enough. That passion never died, but before she could accomplish that goal, she watched the camp get closed slowly, ultimately being put up for sale in 2016. She and several other local women started a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the camp, were ultimately successful in doing so, and now continue with the mission of maintaining Camp Louise as a fully functional outdoor facility with community youth camping and programming once again.

Harlan is honored to be one of those three people, whenever he has the opportunity to do so.
