Erica has a Masters of Science of Teaching from SUNY Potsdam.

During her free time you can catch her spending time with her family and friends, hiking and backpacking in the Adirondacks, and traveling when she has the opportunity.
Camp Registrar (Year-Round)
Teresa Peterson-Martin tap86@cornell.edu
We were lucky enough in 2014 to gain our camp registrar, Teresa, who originally hails from Arizona! Teresa makes sure camp runs smoothly by handling all the camp paperwork, registration, and phone calls. She is the friendly voice you hear on the phone when you call asking about camp! In her free time Teresa loves to be outdoors, often catching a stray cow of hers that has wandered out of the pasture.
