Leigh Longino is the CEO of Camp Corral. She joined the national nonprofit in 2015 as COO and prior to that served on the Board of Directors. An expert in camp programming and operations, Leigh served in various positions within the YMCA, managing program development, risk management and staff development for 20 years. Leigh puts great effort into confidently leading the organization to advance the mission and create sustainability for the future of the organization and those we serve.

“I have a remarkable job that allows me to interact with military children in settings where they can set aside the pressures, stresses and challenges of their daily lives. Our organization provides free, transformational summer camp experiences to military youth, with a core focus on helping children of wounded, injured, ill or fallen service members. ”Since its founding in 2011, Camp Corral has grown over 750%, now having served more than 20,000 campers across the country. Leigh has focused her efforts in stabilizing and growing the organization to become a national leader in strong partnerships across the camping industry. Camp Corral has benefited from the implementation of corporate, individual and annual fundraising campaigns to continue to advance our mission. Longino believes that “every day there is a child on the waitlist, is a day I’m driven to come to work and do my best. Every military connected child and every family can benefit from the Camp Corral experience.”

Leigh resides in Raleigh, NC with her husband, whom she met at camp, and three young daughters. Together as a family they enjoy traveling, hiking, sailing and preparing for the next adventure.
