Meet the Staff
Summer Camp Instructors
Our summer staff is an eclectic group of educators and community leaders. All of our instructors have a great rapport with children and a deep interest in helping children discover the wonders of agriculture and the environment. Together they have a wealth of experience and a vast knowledge of environmental education. Instructors are either experienced teachers, certified teachers, or Elementary Education students in their last years in college. Before the summer begins we have an extensive week of training and certification in First Aid and Red Cross CPR. Here at Fernbrook, we are extremely proud of the competence and compassion of our summer staff.
