Alec Gallant

Camp Director

Hello Campers and Families! My name is Alec, and I am so excited to be returning to Camp Abby this summer as your Camp Director after seven years away. Camp Abby has always held a special place in my heart, and I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to come back and be part of such a meaningful community once again. This summer, my goal is to help create the best experience possible for our campers, full of fun, growth, laughter, and unforgettable memories. I am passionate about building a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every camper feels valued and excited to be themselves. I can’t wait to work alongside our amazing staff to bring energy, creativity, and care to everything we do. I’m especially looking forward to all the moments that make camp so special, campfires, games, new friendships, and the little memories that last a lifetime. Thank you for trusting us with your campers this summer. I am beyond excited to meet everyone and make this an incredible season at Camp Abby!

Regards,

Alec Gallant
