About Us

At Kolibri Education & Consulting, we believe that real learning happens when curiosity meets the natural world. Founded by a Maryland native and an experienced homeschool educator, Kolibri offers hands-on outdoor skills classes, personalized homeschool consulting, and nature-based programs designed to keep learners engaged, and spark confidence, resilience, and critical thinking.

Our programs blend academic foundations with practical life skills, all taught in a supportive environment that honors each learner’s pace and personality. Whether you're here to explore survival skills, supplement your homeschool journey, or reconnect with nature, we’re here to guide the way.

Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Kimberly, Founder and lead instructor with Kolibri! Born and raised in Maryland, I swapped the lab coat for hiking boots—though I still believe coffee counts as a science experiment. With a background in science, medical research, and 13 years of Girl Scout leadership, I now spend my days teaching kids how to start a fire (safely), tie knots (practically), and ask questions that spark a lifetime of learning. At Kolibri Education & Consulting, curiosity isn’t only encouraged—it’s mandatory.
