Katie Marchant, Founder, Owner, and Lead Teacher of Cascade Kids, brings a wealth of experience and a lifelong love of the outdoors to her work with children. She is a licensed teacher with 3+ years of previous experience in preschool education, over 8 years of experience teaching in public elementary schools, and is even a former children’s ski instructor. 

Katie grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where her childhood was filled with fort building, blackberry picking, and endless adventures in the woods (ask her sometime about the crow that stole her burger!). Her love of nature has only grown since moving to Utah to attend BYU, where she has lived for the past 16 years.

Along with her children, she has completed the 1000 hours outside challenge three times and counting! She enjoys skiing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, dutch oven cooking, kayaking, and just about any adventure outdoors. Katie is passionate about teaching and inspiring a love of the outdoors in the next generation.
