Camp Kaniksu 2018
Tuesday, 28 August 2018
I’ve come to believe that given enough time and an encouraging adult, any child will come to love nature. There are some like my nieces, Nala and Nishta, who need no convincing and are up for any adventure outside. Others who have grown up with less outdoor time and more screen time take more encouraging

Spring WildCrafting
Monday, 12 March 2018
WildCrafting is a KLT out-of-school program that engages kids to be creative using natural materials and simple hand tools.

WildCrafting
Wednesday, 08 November 2017
The idea for KLT’s WildCrafting program began as a slow seed taking time to germinate and grow. While working at a boarding school, I began to see the value in getting teenagers to work with their hands creating things. Many times I had students look questioningly at me when I offered them a chance to
Camp Kaniksu 2017
Thursday, 21 September 2017
The summer flew by in a wonderful kaleidoscope of sounds, smells, texture: bird calls, giggles, wet grass, cottonwood sap, oozing mud, smooth bark, and clear refreshing water. Each day a different adventure around the wheel, the book of nature, opening up mysteries and making them touchable, tangible, real. This was my childhood and now I
