I am from Jackson, MS and I am currently a rising senior at Birmingham- Southern College majoring in Psychology. I have been spending my summers at Jacobs Camp since I was 6 years old, and it has become my home away from home. This summer, I am going to be the Chalutzim Unit Head. This is my fourth year on staff and my second year being a unit head. I am super excited for this summer and all of the fun times that it will hold! See y’all in Utica!

My name is Audrey Ligier and I’m originally from California, but have lived in New Orleans for about six years and currently live in Baton Rouge. I am a student at Louisiana State University majoring in psychology with a minor in women, gender, and sexualities studies. This summer I will be a general counselor and I have been on staff for three summers now. Camp is my home away from home and I love coming back every year! My not-so- secret talent is that I can walk on my hands!

My name is Caroline and I was raised in Birmingham, AL but currently attend College of Charleston. During the past year, I
was involved in student government, president of the political science club, and a regular attendee of yoga club! This will be my 3rd summer on staff and I’m so excited to be a counselor. I’ve been going to Jacobs Camp for 9 summers and it is truly my home. I’m ecstatic to have the opportunity to give back to the place that raised me.

My name is Gabe and I go to Louisiana State University. This is my thirteenth summer at Jacobs Camp and my third year on staff. I am so excited to play sports with my campers, lifeguard the pool, and make new friends. I cannot wait to welcome Chalutzim home! 

Howdy! My name is Rachel Smet, and I am from Springfield, Virginia but I am a rising sophomore at Texas A&M University. I am majoring in Psychology, and minoring in Pre- Medicine and Sociology! During the year, I am heavily involved with my sorority, Alpha Epsilon Phi, as the Social Chair and Recruitment Assistant; I am also on the Social Programming Vice President on the Hillel Student Board. I was a camper at Jacobs Camp for six years, and I went to Israel with my year! This is my second year working at camp as a general counselor. I am so excited to have the best summer ever!

Hi! My name is Meytar, I’m 22 years old and from Israel. This is my second summer at Jacobs Camp, and I’m SUPER excited and hyped for this summer to be awesome! 🙂 In my free time I like to play volleyball, read books, play on the computer, talk to Kiwi, and go out with friends. I also love being a couch potato sometimes and binge Netflix (because we all need that from time to time). I will be a Chalutzim counselor this summer, which means I’ll get to see my Talmidim kids from last summer, and I am very happy and thrilled to be at camp and relive the past summer, but this time make it better as well :).
