Sitting On Top of the World


The 2012 Moondance Leadership group finds success atop a snowy Mount Rainier

One of the major benefits of participating in a Moondance outdoor adventure is the ability to get to know some of the world's most pristine outdoor arenas on an up close and personal level. On any one of our summer adventures, you may find yourself surrounded by jagged peaks, crystalline lakes or even ancient ruins thinking to yourself, "How can I possibly describe what I'm seeing - and feeling! - to my friends and family back home?"

Several of our Leadership adventures allow participants a shot at bagging world-renowned peaks such as The Grand Teton in Wyoming, Mount Rainier in Washington, Mount Shasta in California and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. This summer, Moondance is proud to report that we had a 100% success rate for our students climbing Mount Shasta (on our Yosemite Classic trip), Mount Rainier (on our Moondance Leadership trip) and Mount Kilimanjaro (on our Kilimanjaro trip). 2012 marks the first time in Moondance history that all students attempting summits did so successfully, and we couldn't be more proud of this feat.

What any Moondance student will tell you, however, is that it wasn't their physical abilities that got them to the top. Instead, it was the positive encouragement of their teammates and leaders that allowed them to find the strength within...to take that next step...to breathe in and to breathe out...to ultimately succeed.

It's atop these peaks that we realize the only thing greater than just reaching the top is reaching the top together.
