Ella Bennett, 22, is no stranger to Moondance, having completed five trips as a student! We are so excited to have Ella in a leadership role this summer after going on California, Pacific Northwest, Big Wild, Machu Picchu, and the Mystery trip to Slovenia as a kid. Moondance is what sparked Ella’s love for backpacking and the outdoors! Ella grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and was a two-time captain of the lacrosse team at Woodward Academy. She recently graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Real Estate! While in Athens Ella was involved with the UGA Real Estate Society, Club Water Ski Team, and the Phi Mu sorority. Ella’s passion for challenging herself and working with others in team environments, while having an upbeat energy, is a skill that will allow Ella to give her the best experience possible. We are so excited for Ella to bring her passion for Moondance to her students for her first summer!
Ben Belden, 22, was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, and has impressed us with not only his accomplishments but his enthusiasm for adventure and the outdoors. Ben had the opportunity to live in Jackson Hole, the summer after his sophomore year at the University of Alabama, and since then he was hooked. Ben had the opportunity to pursue his outdoor fly-fishing passion while working at the Mangy Moose Saloon. We are so excited for Ben to channel his passion for the outdoors into his students, in order to be able to create an environment focused on adventure, trying new things, and having a great time. We are so excited for Ben to join the Moondance family for a second summer after leading Big Wild in 2022!
