Jeff Saltz
Jeff has proudly owned and directed Camp Romaca since 1995. At the young age of 5, he persuaded his parents to allow him to attend Camp Greylock; our brother camp in nearby Becket. Jeff spent the next 20 years growing up in this traditional camp environment. It was there he gained a profound respect for the impact that a well organized sleep away experience can have on children. After gaining many years of organizational and leadership experience on staff at Greylock, Jeff brought his love of camp, along with a keen sense of perseverance, dedication and expertise to Romaca.

Although born in New Jersey, Jeff's fondness for Massachusetts brought him to attend Northeastern University in Boston. He graduated from the Paramedic Program in 1988 and after years of experience, went on to work as a senior Paramedic in Jersey City, New Jersey. During his career there, he earned honors as “Paramedic of the Year” and was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by the mayor of the city. He later received another Distinguished Service commendation from the Jersey City Fire Department. Adding to his professional emergency training, Jeff also attended the Massachusetts Police Academy in Agawam.

In the off-season, Jeff resides in the Sarasota, Florida region with his wife Kimberly and their two daughters. In his free time, he enjoys snow skiing, hiking, bike riding, swimming and watching movies with his girls - who just happen to share his passion for Romaca!
