Erica works year-round at camp and in our office as Camp Overlook’s Program Director. Erica is in charge of all things Camp, including designing and facilitating our year-round programming and rental groups. She also organizes, hires staff, and plans all of summer camp. Erica has a Masters of Science of Teaching from SUNY Potsdam. Before coming to us in 2022, she has spent over a decade as an educator ranging from a public school English teacher to a backpacking guide. She is a Wilderness First Responder, a lifeguard and WSI, as well as a trained high & low ropes course facilitator. 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.
