It's (ALMOST!) the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Yes, the holidays have come and gone, but we at Moondance Central find ourselves pretty giddy with excitement these days. Obviously, our favorite time of the year is the summer, when we are running trips and doing what we do best - facilitating great adventures with great kids all over the world. But January and February are pretty special months for us because we find our trips starting to fill up and our groups starting to come to life! We have several trips that are full or are close to being full, and it brings us all great excitement to know that a new little Moondance family is being born before our very eyes as each group starts to form.


Northern Lights 1 "Family" - Summer 2011

As you can imagine, spending 24 hours a day with the same people for 2 to 3 weeks allows you to really get to know everyone in your group. You will have the opportunity to share experiences with these folks that you'll never be able to experience with your closest of friends or even your own family. That's one of the things that we think makes Moondance so special; we have the ability to bring so many amazing students from all over the country together to form such an unbelievably tight bond in less than a month. Our leaders have the power (and the privilege) of being a part of these families and changing lives in what is a considerably short amount of time. Like Hayes said in the short video Rich Addicks (photographer, videographer and Moondance parent!)put together for us about our leaders called "Why We Do What We Do", "How can you change someone's life in three weeks? It happens."


Two of our greatest and most veteran leaders, Willy Sebring and Michaelyn Koss

If you're a Moondance alum or leader, you know what we are talking about when we say Moondance is really like a family. And if you are interested in joining us for 2012, I hope you'll apply for what will not only be the best adventure of your life but the best group of friends/"family" you've ever come to know. Since trips are starting to fill up, we would definitely encourage you to apply as soon as you can. As we always say, "you won't know if you don't go!"
