Allison Cohen
After 15+ years working at Newsweek and various other magazines Allison Cohen traded in PowerPoint to promote the power of camp as the Director of Marketing & Communications at the Foundation for Jewish Camp and One Happy Camper. Allison’s love for Jewish camp – and a rockin’ song session - started in fourth grade at NJ Y’s Camp Nah-Jee-Wah followed by five summers at URJ Camp Harlam. Her two daughters have a deep appreciation for her extensive lanyard and string bracelet skills and the fact that the ingredients for s’mores are a staple in their pantry.
