Meet Our Directors

Marty Rochlin

Co-Executive Director
Director, Camp Airy

Camp has been part of Marty’s life since 1984, when he was a first-time Airy camper in Bunk 30. Having been a camper, CIT, counselor and Unit Leader, he knows firsthand that camp is the best place to grow up. Just as slogans of the past have touted, he did find his inner awesome, and make friends for life. Marty became a teacher because of camp and, as a teacher, he met his wife Pam — she was introduced to and loved camp … and a short time later, the same thing happened for their daughter, Lilly. Marty was in the right place at the right time when camp was looking for a new Director leading up to Summer 2014. Lilly’s camp journey led her to be a 2021 Camp Louise CIT … 30 summers after Marty! The three of them were all on camp staff together in 2022.

Marty believes it is an honor to be on the team that will lead camp through its Centennial Celebration!

Outside of camp, Marty’s interests include pizza, the Ravens and the Orioles, and his dog Rory.

Zac Plotkin

Assistant Director, Camp Airy

Zac brings something to the table that not many of our staff do – he’d never been to Airy or Louise before joining us on staff (he’s not a complete outsider – his two sisters did go to Camp Louise)! However, he’s spent most of the summers in his life attending and working at other camps. When he started at Camp Airy, he was the Trainee Division Head, in charge of leading the transitionary years where high school campers go from being “just campers” to “campers and…” great social leaders and stellar future staff members!

He brings all of his prior experience in camping to his position now as Assistant Director, to help create awesome programs, find and train amazing staff members, and help oversee the summer experience for both campers and staff alike. He’s a big believer in the “10 for 2 Movement” (Working 10 months of the off-season each year for one purpose: 2 months of camp!). He finds his job tremendously rewarding, knowing that the experiences he plans have such a huge positive impact on so many people each summer.

At home, Zac loves outdoor activities like tent camping, campfire cooking, and hiking, all of which he can do with his dog, Jasper! He’s spent over a year of his life living in Israel, having been on a couple of different long term programs there. His friends would say that he is just about always talking about camp, and he plans to continue working at summer camps for a long time!
