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!

Who are the camp counselors?
Camp Foxfire counselors are a group of experienced women—all moms—who have come together to create and lead our outdoor summer program at Foxfire Woods and Farm. All adult staff have passed clean background checks, are current in CPR and first aid training, and have completed comprehensive camp training, including child safety and abuse prevention. They are responsible for guiding activities, ensuring camper safety, and creating a fun, supportive environment each day.
Who are the Counselors In Training?
CITs (Counselor-in-Training) are campers aged 13 and older who are selected to step into a leadership development role at Camp Foxfire. They work alongside our adult counselors to support campers, help lead activities, and assist with caring for the farm animals. Through hands-on experience, CITs learn skills like leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork in a fun, outdoor setting. It’s an opportunity to build confidence, make friends, and grow into future leadership roles while still enjoying all the excitement of camp.
Can my 5 or 6 year old come too?
Younger campers do enjoy Camp Foxfire, if they're ready. Otherwise, check out our parent-child program, NaturePLAY.
Successful campers often have an older sibling at camp, have attended NaturePLAY with their parent, or have attended a drop off program regularly (preschool, co-op, or kindergarten).
Children should be able to change their own clothes after water play or getting dirty to encourage independence and enjoy outdoor fun!
Children must be toileting independently.
We do offer a Half Day Option!
Younger campers are welcome to participate in our full camp sessions as a half-day camper, attending 9-12:00 and heading home during our lunch time.
$175/week, available for campers under 7 yrs.
Use "2026HALFDAY" on full day sessions at registration.
Can we bring _ to survival camp?
Survival Tools
Pocket and whittling knives may be brought by campers ages 10+.
However, knives must be turned in to staff upon arrival and will only be used during designated, supervised activities.
Campers should NOT bring other blades (including hatchets, axes, machetes, straight-blade knives, multitools, saws, throwing knives, or other cutting tools). They will be confiscated and returned to the parent at car pool.
Other survival gear should be labeled with the campers name and remember, leave valuables at home!
Is Camp Foxfire phone free?
Yes! Our children deserve the opportunity to unplug, connect with nature, build friendships, and enjoy the moment. So Camp Foxfire is a Phone-Free Zone! We ask families to support this goal by leaving phones, watches, and electronics at home.
