Todd Barnett, pictured here with 3 of his 4 camp-aged children, has been Field Camp’s Owner and Director since its start in 2000. He used to spend his summers at camp while teaching the rest of the year, and then while running Field School, a local boys middle school he founded in 2007. His off-seasons nowadays are consumed with camp duties, his family, and an initiative to promote Outdoors Civic Education. He and his wife Meredith Montague (who is often seen helping out with driving and other duties around camp) and their family live in Charlottesville.

If you would like a well paying and fun summer job in the outdoors, let us know.
