Our Team
The Durango Way.
We love our community. We love our mountains.
Katie King
Program Director and Owner
I worked my first mountain bike job at a summer camp in North Carolina 10 years ago! I went to Brevard College and received a degree in Outdoor Leadership and Experiential Education. I spent most of my 20's working summer camps, Outward Bound, Therapeutic Programs, and Montessori Education. Some values that guide my life and educational approach include authenticity, autonomy, creativity, playfulness, humor, connection, nature exploration, and above all, safety and compassion.
A quote that can sum up my philosophy as an educator and coach is "we do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit"
Vivienne McIntyre
Founder
Mrs. Vivienne is the heart and soul behind the scenes. She works tirelessly to ensure that Nifty Nanny is the best summer camp you send your kids too! Her passion and drive stems from her homeschool experience as an elementary student, at home with her 4 sisters. She launched Nifty Nanny in 2014 after nannying for many families in Durango, CO over her college career. After graduating in the fall of 2014, she took her Elementary Education degree and worked for 9R School District, while building her business. After two years, she was ready to step out on her own and make her dreams happen. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any question or to schedule a meet and greet.
