Meet Crimson & Drew!

Laurel South’s Directors are Crimson and Drew Gallagher. Drew started at Laurel South in 2007. Crimson joined as a staff member in 2010. Starting as counselors, they both quickly grew into various leadership positions over the years, including Campus Leaders, Head Counselors, Associate Directors, and now Directors. Camp is where they met, and now are delighted to raise their two sons as part of the Laurel South family. As Directors, they bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion, having worked at Laurel South for many years and being deeply integrated with its operations and culture. Drew and Crimson are committed to continuing the Laurel South legacy of providing a nurturing, family environment for both campers and staff.
