	Todd Barnett — Todd is the co-founder and director of Field Camp. He is trained as a Wilderness First Responder, and he teaches many of the ethics, leadership, nature and outdoors classes at camp. He is currently the Head of School and Founder of Field School of Charlottesville, a middle school for boys. He plays guitar in the mythical camp band. He and his wife Meredith Montague live in Charlottesville with their dog Tupelo.
	Jay Fennell — A graduate of Transylvania University, Jay co-founded Field Camp in 200. He teaches Spanish and Latin at Field School. Jay and Erika Thelen were married in the summer of 2003, and they are the parents of two boys, Jed and Lio.
	Ralph Geilker - Ralph has been at Field Camp since 2004. He was also present at the first Leadership School in 2004 and the second in 2005. Born and bred in C’ville, he is a sophomore at the College of William and Mary. At camp, Ralph enjoys playing Bartball and capture the flag, where he crushes, so make sure you get on his team. And consider wearing a helmet.
	Catherine Wilkerson - A sophomore in the George Mason University School of Nursing, Catherine has been at Field Camp since the first year. An actress, she re-created several moving scenes during the Summer of 2006, such as "Where's My Binky?" and the unforgettable, "Falling Off Top Bunk."
	Michael Santulli - Michael has been around Field Camp for a long time. In his free time, he makes movies and tells jokes. He is a senior at C.H.S. and an adequate Elijahball player.
	Meredith Montague - Meredith has been at Field Camp since day #1. Though she has not shown up much this summer, she continues to take practically all the pictures (except the one to the left). Meredith graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 2003 with degrees in French and history of art. She led the Outdoor Leadership School with her brother David from 2005-07. Check out Meredith's photography business at www.meredithmontague.com.
	Alex Mosolgo-Clark - Alex probably holds the record for number of years as a camper, though who wants to pore through the musty old sign-in sheets to check. Improbaby, he won a CTF game against the kids in 2009, BY HIMSELF! I hear he's going to Virginia Tech in the fall of 2010.
	Taylor Guss - A freshman at Bates, Taylor was present at the very first week of Field Camp as well as the first Field Camp Day and Pirate’s Day. He enjoys running, paintball, and camping, and in recent capture-the-flag games pitting the campers against the counselors, he has, at times, been the lone counselor holding off the campers seemingly for hours.
	Emily Hornsby - A freshman at Princeton, Emily was the first Hornsby to come to Field Camp and, after many years, she returned as a counselor. She won the Counselor Doubles division of the Elijahball Tournament in 2010 and she pulls for Uruguay in the World Cup.
	Cole Peale-Grody - Cole is our resident herpologist. A sophomore at Tandem, he is angling his dad to give him his Jeep Cherokee to drive. Good luck with that.
	Austin Bouchard - A senior at CHS, Austin has been coming to Field Camp forever. He starred in several camp classics including "Field Camp Investigaotrs Unit" and the Hornsbys' "Once Upon a Rind."
	Lucy Miller - A junior at Monticello, Lucy found the first heart rock on the Moormans River and inspired, at about the age of 8, a decade or so of finding rocks shaped like things. Whenever she is on the bus, you can count on her to get everyone singing.
	Emily Dean-McKinney - A sophomore at Tandem, Emily has been around forever. She plays field hockey and she's trying to mold her sister Kate into the next Peggy Boutilier.
Old Counselors who still show up from time to time...
	Charlotte Hornsby -- Charlotte started working as a counselor in 2005 and won the women's counselor division in the storied Elijahball tournament. A film student at NYU, she likes good music, and she even knows all the words to "Buttercup." When in town, she likes to hang out on the downtown mall and eat at Eppie's. If you see her, tell her and her family not to change that phone message.
	Andrew Junkin joined us in 2007 after graduating from U.Va. He quickly established himself as the man to beat in contests such as innertube bowling and cornhole. After making a brief and critically acclaimed performance as our 32nd president, he started teaching Chemistry at E.C. Glass HS in Lynchburg, but has now moved on to medical school.
	Michael Beirne -- Michael used to come to camp, now he's a counselor. He is a graduate of the University of Richmond. He is probably our most traveled counselor in history, and he was named "Best Dressed" at the 2003 Field Camp Day games. Michael has been at Field Camp since our first year.
	Carling Klalo -- Carling is our first camper-turned-counselor. She knows all the camp songs by heart, plays them regularly in her Toyota Forerunner, and lately she is picking up guitar. Carling has also been at Field Camp, on and off, since our first year.
	Robert Mosolgo-Clark -- Robert, pictured to the left with Carling, spent his first summer as a CIT in '03 after many years with us as a camper. In 2004, he won the counselor division of the inaugural Elijahball tournament, and he competes with Elijah as our best chess player year in-year out. He has been at Field Camp for a large part of his life, going back to 2000. He goes to William and Mary.
	Elijah Kirsch -- Elijah was a camper in our first-ever week of camp back in 2000, and he is now in his fourth year at U.Va. having moved back recently from Austin, Texas. He is a wonderful pal to his little brother Finny and he plays a mean game of chess. Elijah was one of the fifteen people present at the first day of Field Camp in 2000, and he is a legend on the aptly named Elijahball courts. He's now in California doing something other than counseling at camp.
	Erika Thelen Fennell--A recent graduate of UVA, Erika worked from our first summer through 2002 and ran the Field Camp News among many other things. She is is currently working for a vet in Crozet. See the bio just above (Jay Fennell) for more information.
	Scotty Waylett -- A graduate of St. Anne's-Belfield School, Scotty used to organize games at camp and give guitar lessons. He does a mean Forrest Gump version of our camp song, and played guitar in the camp band. Scotty worked from the first year of camp through 2002, after which he moved to Aspen, a small skiing town, reputedly in California. He returned briefly in 2003 to lead a hike at Riprap. We hope to see him again in the future. Last I heard he was in Nepal doing good work helping to repair a school.
	Scott Martin goes way back at Field Camp, way back. After returning regularly on Thursday nights over the last few years, he finally found his calling as an actor in Geilker and Duva's production of "The New Kid" where he played a protective counselor. Scott goes to U.Va.
	Bart McIntosh -- A man who has been to the lowest point in the United States, Bart started as a counselor in the Summer of 2002. A standout soccer player in high school, Bart is a recent graduate of the University of Colorado.
