Have you met our wonderful new students Nick and Natalie Markoff? If so, have you ever thought about the correlation between their last names and “Markoff’s Haunted Forest”? Well if you have, you were right! The haunted forest is actually part of their family owned business, Calleva Camp, and has become a main attraction. But along with the forest, they have many other programs. In the summer they have a variety of summer camps and water activities, while in the fall they‘re popular for their haunted forest and enchanted forest, in the winter they hold snow clubs and many snow activities, and lastly in the spring they are big on horseback riding and many other programs. Nick works at the camp throughout the year and is a kayak instructor and camp counselor. During the fall season he dresses up to scare people and even walks around on stilts. Much of his extended family; including uncles, cousins, and grandparents, all contribute their lives to making this camp so successful. Nick states that “working with so much family gets exhausting, but it keeps us close.” No matter what the season is, there’s always something fun to do at the Calleva Camp. Especially with the Halloween season coming up, there’s definitely an excuse to check it out!

Have you ever had pizza from our Tuscarora concessions? If you have then you know what Starvin Marvins pizza tastes like, and it’s delicious! Opened in 1982, Starvin Marvins is a family business, located in Frederick and Gaithersburg, owned by the Foundas family. Christina, Brooke, and Nicole Foundas are all Tuscarora students and members of this large Greek family. Brooke explains, “Our business is very successful. We’ve been here in Frederick for 6 years and cater to many sporting events: including Tuscarora, Ballenger Creek Middle School, and the Frederick Keys Stadium.” Both Christina and Brooke admit that working with their family “brings [them] closer together and makes for better customer service.” Many people feel that Starvin Marvins is just a pizza shop, but their menu is huge; including subs, burgers, gyros, salads, specialty fries, appetizers, cheesecake, and much more! Not only is the food wonderful, but the service is excellent. With many past and present Tuscarora students as the staff and a friendly Foundas always there, customers will always be greeted with a smile. “Everyone is family there, even if they aren’t technically family” Brooke states.
