Sadly I fell away from blogging over the last summer and this fall. My job situation and the amount of bouncing around I have been doing has been keeping me almost too busy to think much less write an epic blog post. Well folks, I make no guarantees, but Mr. K is coming back.
Since we last left off my focus has shifted some away from policy and politics of our predicaments and focused more on skills and practice of living a more sustainable life. Along with that shift I have realized the necessity in skill development and refinement. This focus actually came from my recent participation in my local Fencing School, where I have taken a coaching role, teaching private and group lessons along with the facilitation of larger group lessons and activities. Focusing on improving my fencing skills, as an educator, has really helped develop an idea of the types of things I would like to focus on in my own life.
Along with my ever deepening foray into fencing, I planned and executed the great experiment that was known as Xtreme Camp. Xtreme Camp is a nine week, extreme sports and outdoor adventure summer day camp, designed for children ages 8-14. This camp involved about sixty to eighty campers a week participating in a variety of activities from mountain boarding and paintball to orienteering and survival skills. I had seven counselors and about five CIT's working with me. Together we created one of the most successful summer camp programs in the area. Again a lesson learned here was how to be creative and how best to employ ingenuity and leadership qualities.
So with all that being said I hope to be bringing you more posts in the future and if I can't find the time at least you know that I am out there doing good things and working hard to change the world for the better! See you all soon!
~K
