Meet Our Directors

Alicia Block Berlin

Co-Executive Director
Director, Camp Louise

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Alicia has spent her entire life at Camp Louise.  She began in 1980 as a camper, and over the next 30+ years she has gone from CIT to Counselor to Unit Leader to Assistant Director and, since 2008, Director.  It’s her experiences throughout that get translated into everything she does at Camp Louise, helping create lifelong memories and friendships for campers and staff alike.

When she’s not at camp in the summer, she’s constantly learning and working on programming, recently participating in the Jewish camp fellowship program Lekhu Lakhem.  Building a strong camp community starts with traveling around the country and around the globe to recruit the best staff imaginable, while at the same time meeting with new prospective campers and maintaining her relationships with current ones.  Camp Louise is built on a 100-year legacy, so she’s proud to add 3rd, 4th and even 5th generation campers, while also excited to bring in brand new campers with no previous connection.

Her family is also a camp family – she met her husband Neil at Camp Airy and their three girls are all Louise campers.  When she’s not working, she loves spending time with her family and friends – and beating them in games like Bananagrams, Apples to Apples, Scattergories, Phase Ten and more.

Jaci Steinhart

Assistant Director, Camp Louise

Growing up attending overnight camp in NC and working at a camp in PA during college — Jaci decided to get back into the camping world after 11 years of being an educator in Atlanta. She joined the Airy & Louise team in February of 2019 and hasn’t looked back. She loves talking with new families about camp, giving tours of camp, hiring and training new staff,  planning programs, and her favorite part of her job is during the summer when she can participate in activities around camp with the campers and staff.

Outside of camp, Jaci enjoys cheering on the Buffalo Bills and the Florida State Seminoles. She also enjoys playing lacrosse, and if you ever want to talk about the Gilmore Girls — she has watched every episode!
