Meet the team

The people who make RLT run.

We keep the team small on purpose, so you'll talk to the same people all year, and they'll know your family by name.
Laura Dunmire
Director
Laura Dunmire
Runs RLT day to day, combining 15 years as a summer camp director with a lifelong love of travel and getting kids outside. Outside the office, she's usually planning the next family trip with her husband and four kids, often built around a national park.
