Jameson Grauer, Lead Teacher

Jameson’s second love is Art, which took him to Florence, Italy for two years to learn Classical Painting & Sculpture; he uses this knowledge and skill set to bring some fun and creative ideas into the outdoor classroom.

Growing up amongst the Phoenix mountains, Jameson has always had a love for everything outdoors.  He has lived in Arizona, California, and Washington, and most recently in Florence, Italy.  Growing up in a Montessori environment helped Jameson develop an appreciation for the mindful philosophy, and so at 20 years of age he began working in a Montessori classroom alongside his former preschool teacher.  He was later promoted to Lead Teacher, where he enjoyed working with preschool and kindergarten-aged children.

Jameson’s second love is Art, which took him to Florence, Italy for two years to learn Classical Painting & Sculpture; he uses this knowledge and skill set to bring some fun and creative ideas into the outdoor classroom. You might hear him speak Italian - or maybe even see some sign language!

In his spare time, you will likely find Jameson fixing something, painting, engineering, cycling, or playing the guitar . . . or you just may find him roaming the forest with his little dog, Bella, in tow, for there is always something to discover in the forest!
