Kayla Platt

Founder/Lead Teacher

I have spent the past 6 years building community in the Treasure Valley through hosting a weekly Wild + Free based nature group and leading an outdoor based co-op.  The Idaho Outdoor School is the culmination of my deep desire to serve both my family and community. I am lucky enough to have three wild children and an extremely patient and supportive husband.  As a family we enjoy road tripping, game night, hosting as many people as will fit in our home and camping. Individually I'm all about starting projects I don't have time for, adding to a growing stack of books to read and squeezing in some quiet yoga time. Homeschooling has felt like the right choice for our family because of the freedom of our schedule, prioritizing sleep and movement and letting our children pursue their own path. I am beyond grateful to get to do this work and am so excited for what is in store for this school and the home educated children of Idaho.
