About the Facilitator:
Sasha Kopp is a Community Early Childhood and Family Engagement Consultant at The Jewish Education Project. Sasha grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and has loved camp and the outdoors for as long as she can remember. In 2010, Sasha found her passion for outdoor education through a semester studying in abroad and working at Skovbørnebaven Skovletten a public forest kindergarten in Glostrop, Denmark. This experience inspired her to spend more time outside as a teacher at Temple Beth Shalom in Needham, MA where she took her classes outside for hours on end - through all kinds of weather! Sasha is excited to share her passion and creativity, as together, we re-think how to spend time outside.
