ESF FEEDS PASSIONS AND
POWERS SUPERHERO POTENTIAL!

Hi! My name is Traci Loftus and I am the Site Director for ESF at Montgomery School. The summer of 2025 will mark my 17th summer working for ESF! I began working for ESF in the summer of 2000 at The Haverford School as a Senior Camp counselor. The following three summers, I was promoted to Senior Camp Support Specialist, having various roles in Senior Camp. I am also the recipient of the prestigious ESF Ichiban award for excellence.

My husband and I decided to start a family and we moved to Chester county. When my children were camp age, I found that ESF had a Site at Montgomery School and was very happy that I could begin working for this amazing camp again! I began working as the Day Camp Support Specialist in 2012, and have been the Day Camp Director every summer since then! I also work, year-round at ESF’s Winter Headquarters in the Programming Department. Outside of camp I am a wife and mom of three awesome kids — all ESF campers!
