Jeff Ackerman & Bobbi Wittenberg
Directors

Jeff and Bobbi have been guiding Elmwood for over 24 years! Each summer they lead a team of teachers, psychologists, social workers, recreational specialists, college and high school students, and alumni campers, who share their belief in the Elmwood Mission. Both Jeff and Bobbi have an extensive knowledge of children. Jeff is an experienced teacher, guidance counselor and clinical psychologist. He has been involved in many philanthropic endeavors, camp organizations and youth development programs. Bobbi's background is in administration and education. She has spent most of her life as a director of Elmwood. Bobbi has been a leader in her local community and mentored many camp professionals. Jeff's children, Dani and Mike, and Bobbi's children, Brian, Eric and Allison, have all been Elmwood campers and staff members. The friendship between Jeff and Bobbi, their spouses and their families is a reflection of Elmwood's core philosophy. It is a "great place to be me" for each of them, their children and the Elmwood campers and staff.
