A week of Kidpower training in Santa Cruz


I am just back from a week of Kidpower instructor training in Santa Cruz, California. I really enjoyed this opportunity to keep working directly with Kidpower co-founders Irene van der Zande and Timothy Dunphy, as well as their talented team of people from around the world.

We worked with senior instructor trainers from the Bay Area, Sweden, and Canada, and instructor trainees from all over the U. S. and Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and Lebanon. Irene and Timothy's vision of sending Kidpower out into the world has really come true.

2009 is going to be a great year for Kidpower North Carolina. After six intense days taking and teaching classes with the Kidpower team (my fourth time attending a training) I am ready to get teaching back here at home in North Carolina! We have an upcoming Winter Series of classes at at a training location in Durham/Chapel Hill that is accessible for the whole Triangle. I am going to put up the schedule as a separate blog post. These classes are available for public signup and we'd love to see you there.
