Sarah Kronz
Director of Outdoor Education
BFA in sculpture and painting at Kent State University
Nature Name: Rainbow
Favorite Aspect of Nature:
There are always new things to see and learn in the woods. Exploring the natural world with all of the senses is always a fulfilling and exciting experience.
Why do you want to work with kids at Nuhop?
Most children do not get enough opportunities in their daily lives to explore, play, and express curiosity. I am very fond of giving children those chances to have fun while learning and growing in the outdoors.
