Meet The Staff
Alisha Bennett, Manager of Operations:
Alisha is a member of Rocky Mount Christian Church and a long-time camper, counselor and
employee of Craig Springs. She will be in charge of staff oversight, booking retreats, and
the day-to-day operations of the camp. Alisha is an art teacher at William Fleming High
School in Roanoke, so her schedule is free during the summer camping season. Alisha says,
I plan to act as the go-to person at Craig Springs in order to help meet
the needs of individual camps and their directors. By lightening the load of our
Maintenance Manager and cross-training our residential staff, it is my aim to expedite the
many underlying processes that keep the camp running smoothly. Doing so will allow our
staff to focus on cabin renovation and campus upkeep. The help of volunteers and cabin
sponsors will be imperative to our success, so I encourage all supporters of Craig Springs
to participate not only in the Spring and Fall Work Weekends, but also during the summer
season. Please contact me at abennett@ccinva.org to make arrangements.
