James Mullen, 22, comes to us from Spartanburg, South Carolina and is in the class of 2023 at Hampden-Sydney College in Farmville, Virginia. An avid outdoorsman himself, James’ childhood was spent fully immersed in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. He obtained the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of 16, and from then on devoted his free time to fly fishing, hiking, whitewater kayaking, and anything else he could find in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Beyond the outdoors, James spends his days crunching numbers as he completes is dual degree in Applied and Mathematical Economics. He brought passion and humor last summer on Canyonlands, and we know he will do it again!
Walker McKnight, 22, joins the Moondance family from Nashville, TN, and currently studies Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences at Washington and Lee University. As a student, Walker plays on the Varsity Women’s Lacrosse team and has absolutely fallen in love with the team’s mentality and spirit. Her teammates are no longer just her teammates, but her family as well. Walker can be found always trying to form deeper relationships with anyone she meets in her life—a trait Walker credits to her experiences as a Moondance student! Walker’s love for Moondance began in 2018 on our Chamonix trip and then was deepened the next summer when she summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro with us! Her adventurous spirit has only continued to grow—after leading our Big Wild trip in 2022, Walker spent the fall studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. We are so excited to have Walker join us for another summer, and we can’t wait for her to share her infectious personality with her students in Slovenia this summer!
