Meet your instructor
Aloha, my name is Taylor Phelps, and I am grateful to have been brought on as the new Youth Program Coordinator here at Anaina Hou Community Park! I graduated from the University of Colorado-Denver after earning a BA in Environmental Science, and a MA in Education & Human Development. I am a licensed Hawaii-Qualified Teacher in 6th-12th grade Science, Social Studies & STEM education. I taught middle school students in Hawai’i for 5 years, and managed a music center’s youth program here on Kaua’i for over 2 years after that while working with the County. I am now truly stoked to be designing & building youth programs here at AHCP, including an outdoor adventure camp, modern music program, and multiple summer camps, with many more to follow! When I’m not working with students here at AHCP, I am most likely practicing my basslines, enjoying the outdoors, at home cooking, or reading science fiction with my wife and bunny.
