We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you before it’s announced publicly. CBC Alumnae Savannah Johnson has been hired as the new Executive Director of the Barton Center for Diabetes Education.
Some of you may know Savannah from her years as a Barton camper, LIT, and counselor. Like many of us, she grew up at camp, and her deep love for this community has shaped her life’s work. Since her last summer in Rainbow Ridge, she has built a successful career as an educator, global program leader, and impact investor. Her leadership has touched youth development, health equity, and education across more than 100 countries. And now, she’s bringing all of that energy, expertise, and heart back home to Barton.
Savannah’s vision is bold and rooted in everything we value. She’s committed to strengthening both camps, expanding year-round programming, growing access and scholarships, modernizing operations, and building a deeply engaged alumni network. Most importantly, she brings the spirit of someone who truly knows what it means to feel safe, seen, and empowered at camp.
We’re grateful to share this news with our alumni family first. We can’t wait for you to meet her, reconnect, and help us usher in an exciting new chapter for Barton.
More to come soon! Take good care of yourselves!
