Meet the Team

Anat Litwok
Camp Achva and School-Age Services Director
Anat.Litwok@theJ.org

Anat grew up in Marlboro, NJ attending Solomon Schechter Day School and Marlboro High School. After high school she moved to Israel where she lived on Kibbutz Dan for seven years. Anat served in the Israel Defense Forces and received her Bachelor's degree from Tel Hai academic college in Economics and Management.

Anat has spent most of her professional career working in informal education. She served in the Education unit of the IDF, was a counselor at a boarding school for kids from broken homes, and worked as a counselor in the informal education system for the children on the kibbutz. Anat’s true passion is Jewish camping because she believes it gives children an opportunity to discover new skills and learn things about themselves that they may not have the chance to learn in a classroom setting. This will be Anat’s fourth summer with Camp Achva and she’s looking forward to seeing the campers’ smiling faces and hearing their laughter in summer 2022!

Camp Achva Assistant Director

Greg Feitel joined the Camp Achva team after having spent six years as part of Edlavitch DC JCC’s year-round camp team serving as Program Coordinator, Program Manager, and Camp Director.

Greg spent many of his childhood summers as a camper attending both Camp Achva and Camp Airy, an overnight camp. As a Northern Virginia teen, during the school year, he attended the Pozez JCC’s Before- and After-School (BASE) program and then became both a Camp Achva and BASE counselor. He is a Mantua/Frost/Woodson and VCU alumni. When not working, Greg spends as much time as possible outdoors, hiking and camping. He is also an avid reader.

Greg is thrilled to be working at the J he grew up in — where he roamed the halls as a child & teen. He is looking forward to adding to his large camp T-shirt & friendship bracelet collections & is very excited to pursue his camping passion at Camp Achva!

Prior to joining the J team, Michael worked as an educator at a non-profit in the field of child abuse and prevention safety in rural Pennsylvania. Following his interest in the field of education and child development, Michael strives to provide an excellent customer service experience that will keep the families and children happy, informed, and excited to experience all we have to offer here at Camp Achva in 2022!

Eliana was born and raised just outside Dallas, Texas. After graduating from high school, Eliana traded in her hot and humid Texas heat for dry and cold Colorado where she attended the University of Northern Colorado, graduating with a Bachelor's in Audiology and Speech Language Sciences (go bears!) Eliana moved to the DMV in 2019 when she began her Master's in Speech Language Pathology at The George Washington University.

After 12 summers at URJ Greene Family Camp in Texas, Eliana joined Camp Achva in 2021 as the Chalutzim Unit Leader. She is delighted to be back this year as the Camper Care Coordinator. When not at camp, Eliana talks about camp, thinks about camp, and works as a Speech-Language Pathologist for Fairfax County Public Schools. She is so excited for all the wonderful things this summer will bring.
