Elise Pigue, 23, is from Summerfield, North Carolina and graduated from Appalachian State University last May with a degree in Exercise Science. Prior to leading for Moondance this summer, Elise took a gap year and worked as ski lift operator in Utah before she starts PT school this fall! Elise has a variety of different experiences working with teenagers over the last four summers—as a counselor at Camp Tekoa, junior staff for Teens Camping Tour of the West, and a backpacking instructor in Pisgah National Forest for Inside Out. She absolutely loves being a mentor, giving back to young people, and sharing her passion for the outdoors. Along with a unique ability to connect with people, Elise has a charismatic and mature personality that is going to make her a fantastic Trip Leader this summer. We can’t wait for her to Live in the Moment on our Big Wild trip!
