Cedar Creek Team Building Leaders
Peggy Krokstrom
Program Director
"The course shows how innovative and helpful people can be and the unique traits they bring to the team. People who always thought they were followers often turn out to be great leaders."
With 20 years of experience as an outdoor educator and 15 years as a classroom teacher, Peggy brings a keen understanding of the learning process to the Western Team Challenge Course. She’s always on the lookout for the next “learning moment” to help a team understand and apply the concepts they experience on the course.
In addition to leading the team building, Peggy leads workshops on coaching and mentoring for school districts. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Southwest Missouri State University and a Master in Education in Communication Art from Washington University.
A native of St. Louis, Peggy currently resides in Chesterfield with her husband of 23 years and their four children.
Brad Gruenwald
