KATHERINE KIRCHOFF

Katherine brings a unique blend of experience in education, outdoor leadership, and a deep passion for the natural world to her role as Teen Program Coordinator at Hearty Roots. With a background as a farm-based high school educator through AmeriCorps and extensive experience as a backcountry guide in Utah, Katherine thrives in environments that encourage hands-on learning and adventure.

A true believer in Hearty Roots’ mission to get off the grid and explore the stunning landscapes of Maine, Katherine is dedicated to inspiring the next generation to connect with the land. She’s particularly passionate about teaching primitive skills, helping young people build a sense of self-sufficiency while fostering a respect for the outdoors.

When she's not guiding teens through transformative outdoor experiences, Katherine enjoys traveling, surfing, and jamming with friends, all while continuing her own journey of learning and exploration.
