  • 21. Powerful Calling to Work with At-Risk Youth - School Counselor Bradley Keffer
    Oct 21 2025

    Today, we’re honored to speak with Bradley Keffer, a dedicated counselor with the Klamath County School District in Oregon. Bradley works with students at an alternative school, encouraging them to dream big, find hope, and pursue their visions for life. Beyond his counseling work, Bradley is a husband, father, and grandfather, as well as a passionate dog lover, upland hunter, and advocate for animal-assisted therapy. He also engages his students in equine therapy and humane education, taking them to the Humane Society to care for animals and participate in community activities. While Bradley and I both have histories with Kidder Creek Camp, our true connection and collaboration have been built through the Labrador retrievers I raise at Marble Mountain Kennels.
