The Jacobs blog

My name is Eliza Lieberman and this is my first summer at Jacobs! This summer I will be working as the Talmidim Unit Head. I am from Charlotte, North Carolina and just graduated from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN! I love all things performance- from writing my own songs to being on stage with my improv troupe. I also love adventure and being outside.

Hi! My name is Devon, and I am from Booneville, Arkansas. My hobbies are playing games, working out, and playing basketball. My role at camp is to have the best time with my campers and make sure they have the best summer ever. I have been at camp for 4 years and loved every second of it! During my free time, I volunteer at the Boys And Girls Club and a local food bank.

Hi, y’all! My name is Noah Saperstein and this will be my 8th summer at Jacobs Camp but only my first as a counselor. While I am going to college at Bowdoin in Brunswick, Maine, I have lived all over the world. In fact, I have spent about half my life overseas. Because I have never lived anywhere for very long, Jacobs Camp has become a home to me in so many ways and I can’t wait to help other campers feel that same connection. My hobbies include playing soccer and tennis, solving Rubik’s cubes, and learning yo-yo tricks. I love trying new foods and learning how to play card/board games. I have volunteered as a tutor in the past through my school and as a counselor at a week-long camp before. I can’t wait to meet everyone this summer and make it the best one ever!

Hi, I’m Zack! I’m going into my freshman year at Full Sail University in Orlando with a major in music production after camp this summer. This will be my ninth year at camp, and my first year on staff. As a counselor, I want to make every one of my camper’s time at HSJ just as memorable and impactful as mine was, Camp’s always been my home, and I want to be able to share that comfort and ease with everyone I can! At home, I’m a fan of all things music, gaming, football, and pro wrestling. I’d rather be at Jacobs’ than anywhere else in the world, and I can’t wait to make this summer the best one yet!

I am Nathaniel Rubenstein. I am from Oxford, Ms but grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I just finished my freshman year at Ole Miss, where I am majoring in Journalism. I have attended Jacobs camp for the past eight years. I am looking forward to being a counselor this year. In the past, I have volunteered at the local food pantry.
