The Katahdin Learning Project (KLP) is a place-based education program for learners of all ages. At its core, our youth programs are about creating connections: to the land, to one another, and to a shared sense of purpose. Through its programs, KLP helps build a new generation of leaders, learners, and advocates who are deeply rooted in the Katahdin region and committed to its care.
