Samantha Eichert (she/her) is the senior assistant director of URJ 6 Points Creative Arts Academy (CAA). Serving first as virtual faculty in 2020 and at CAA in 2021, Samantha fell in love with the community and joined the CAA team full time in April 2022. Samantha received a BA from the University of Hartford in Judaic Studies and Sociology with a minor in History. She went on to earn her MARE (Masters in Religious Education) from Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion.
Passionate about experiential, hands-on learning, Samantha believes deeply in the power of self-discovery and exploration. She sees camp as an ideal environment for young people to develop a strong sense of identity and belonging.
A proud Philadelphia native (and devoted Philly sports fan), Samantha lives in Lumberton, NJ with her husband, Matt, and their two dogs, Woody and Ariel. A self-proclaimed Disney super fan, she can usually be found enthusiastically talking about camp with anyone who will listen!
