Leave No Trace is the leading educational organization of outdoor ethics. With this role, Leave No Trace is committed to teaching others how to explore nature responsibly. To accomplish this, Leave No Trace sponsors a number of programs that help people of all ages to appreciate nature in a way that protects it for future generations. The core ideals of Leave No Trace feature seven principles, each chosen to educate and empower. Education through Leave No Trace is both practical and idealistic, encouraging people to take realistic measures while also promoting conservation at large.
Moondance Adventures has partnered with Leave No Trace, offering a range of summer adventure camps to teens with conservation being an important aspect of all trips. These camps/trips are designed to offer a unique outdoor experience while teaching kids important skills that prevent their presence from creating a negative impact on the environment. The camps feature summer trips to a number of exciting locations and are structured to help teens meet individual goals within the framework of a supportive team. These trips are powerful and life changing, thanks in part to Moondance Adventures’ alliance with Leave No Trace.
Moondance Adventures explicitly structures its outings around the principles outlined by Leave No Trace. Therefore, all the trips and camps sponsored by Moondance Adventures are designed with sustainable travel in mind. These values help Moondance Adventures better equip teens during their summer adventure camps and summer trips. Teens are taught the most responsible ways to camp and explore, and teachings about nature and wildlife are inherent in all programs. Lessons include camping on hard surfaces, reducing waste, minimizing fires and respecting wildlife and other visitors.
With Leave No Trace, the great outdoors can remain great for generations to come. Moondance Adventures recognizes the inherent value of this program and is proud to support the cause.
