About me
Jill Stepak is an educator, instructional designer, musician, artist, and a proud Camp Interlaken JCC alum. For the past twenty years, Jill has worked to integrate arts, Jewish learning, and educational theories in a variety of settings, from synagogues to camps, schools, and for-profits. She specializes in using technology and design thinking to turn complex concepts into accessible, engaging, and memorable learning experiences.
Jill is a lifelong camp enthusiast and has served as a staff member, unit educator, songleader, and Jewish life faculty at several Jewish camps. She believes that Jewish camps provide a unique space for campers and counselors to experiment and cultivate skills and talents, to grow into their most authentic selves, and become engaged members and leaders in their communities.
