Camp FA Staff

I have been living in the Fredericksburg area my entire life and love the history of our town. I am married to a wonderful man, Ryan and have two active boys, Aiden, 10, and Ryder, 3. I began working at FA as a Falcon Club Team Member in the spring of 2013. My love of inspiring children continued to grow as I became Assistant Teacher for PreKindergarten '14, Kindergarten '16, and Second Grades '18. After graduating from the University of Mary Washington in 2015, I took on the position of Falcon Club Director and have enjoyed every moment of getting to know our FAmily better. I enjoy being at FA in other positions as well - CAMP FA: Summer Assistant Director, CAMP FA: Holiday, Winter and Spring Director, Enrichment Support, and parent. When I am not at FA, I can be found at home spending time with my family, hunting and fishing, or golfing.

Chris lives in Fredericksburg, VA with his wonderful wife and two children. When not on campus at Fredericksburg Academy, he can be found spending time outside with his family, whether it’s fishing, mountain biking, camping, whitewater canoeing on a section of the local Rappahannock River or surfing SUPs in the ocean.

I have spent most of my time outdoors, living and working in Florida. As an avid member of my local crew team I spent countless days on lakes and beaches. As a proud Navy wife, I moved to Virginia 11 years ago and I have enjoyed exploring the many trails, rivers, and historical sites our beautiful state has to offer. I hold a Masters degree in Elementary Education, and focused my studies on the benefits of utilizing outdoor learning to develop and enhance early language and literacy skills. I believe children learn best through inquiry and hands-on experiences. I look forward to sharing my love of learning in the natural classroom- outdoors and immersed in nature!

I am excited to be spending the summer working the FA summer camps. I love kids and all things summer. I hope to see you this summer having lots of fun.

Tim Barzditis is the Language Arts/History teacher for 5th Grade at Fredericksburg Academy. Before coming to FA, he earned his Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at George Mason University, where he also taught undergraduate literature and creative writing courses. His creative work has been published in SLAB, foothill: a journal of poetry, Whurk, and elsewhere.

I graduated from FA, class of '17, and am currently a junior at the University of Mary Washington. I began working in Falcon Club in 2015 and am working towards a Masters in Elementary Education and enjoy teaching all sorts of after-school Enrichment classes at FA. In my free time, I love to read and write. While at Falcon Club, I most enjoy getting to stay a part of the FA community by interacting with the students.

I am a member of the FA Class of 2020, and I am excited to be back for a second summer with Fredericksburg Academy's Summer Camps! I'm passionate about learning about and protecting the environment and love being outdoors. I can't wait to see what this Summer has in store!

I am teaching PK this year and have taught in Early Childhood for 20 years. My heart is definitely with our youngest learners. It’s such a joy to see their excitement and love for learning!

I am a rising junior here at FA. I am an avid soccer player, swimmer, and runner. I enjoy being outside and playing with kids.

This is my first time working for FA Summer Camps and I am stoked! I love the outdoors and look forward to helping give the kids the summer adventure of a lifetime!
