Whitney Bramblett is a former teacher who realized her heart for child development didn’t have to stay inside a classroom. After years of watching kids light up during the “extra” parts of the school day—movement, creativity, connection—she stepped away from traditional teaching to build programs where those moments are the focus.

Today, she runs Missoula’s Best After School & Summer Camp, Impact Martial Arts, and Missoula’s Best Parkour alongside her husband, creating safe, high-energy spaces where kids grow in confidence, character, and resilience. When she noticed families being priced out of opportunities, she founded the Impact Kids Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to removing financial barriers so every child can access life-changing extracurriculars.

Whitney is also a mom of three, a lover of books, camping trips, and good conversations (“yapping,” as she proudly calls it). Her mission is simple: build a community where kids feel seen, supported, and inspired—and where families never have to choose between affordability and opportunity.
