As a former park ranger and naturalist, Terri is passionate about sharing the outdoors with others. Her greatest joy is watching the excitement on the faces of children as they discover a new animal, plant, or mushroom in nature. She is certified in Wilderness First Aid and CPR, and brings her experience as a trainer and licensed counselor into the work we do at Camp Foxfire. She believes in the importance of spending quiet time outdoors to help ease anxiety and other mental health concerns, and often takes a break from the hard work of managing a farm to just sit and reflect on our beautiful world - which our next generations must actively protect for their future!

Session 1: June 10 - 14th Survival Camp
RegistrationWater. Food. Shelter. These are three things that are absolutely paramount to the survival of not only humans, but all mammals. We will spend time this week exploring ways to be prepared for unexpected challenges when venturing outdoors, and even some ways to use what nature has provided, to overcome shortfalls in preparation. Example of an activity: participants will learn how to use a compass, AND learn how to determine direction by utilizing the sun, in case they forgot to pack a compass.
