Reid, now 22, brings his enthusiasm for adventure and mentorship to his role as a Trip Leader with Moondance. Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, Reid graduated from the University of North Carolina with a degree in Political Science. During his time at UNC, Reid was deeply involved in campus activities, spending his free time playing soccer, shooting hoops, and volunteering for the Bandana Project to promote positive mental health across campus. Passionate about music, Reid also shares his talents by volunteering to play for his church and tutors and mentors elementary students, demonstrating his commitment to giving back to his community. With a lifelong love for surfing, Reid is eager to share his passion with his students and create unforgettable experiences on the waves. Now, in his second summer as a Trip Leader on the Croatia expedition, Reid is thrilled to guide his students through a magical summer filled with adventure and growth. We are excited to have Reid as part of the Moondance team, and we know he will inspire and empower his students to embrace new challenges and make lasting memories.

Carter, 22, is from right here in Nashville and is a recent graduate of the University of Southern California where she studied Psychology and Journalism. While in high school, Carter fell in love with the Moondance experience after attending  our Spain + Morocco and Chamonix trips! She worked as a counselor at Camp Merrie Woode in 2021 and then returned to Moondance last summer for the first time as a Trip Leader on our Kenya + Zanzibar trip. Carter is hard working, charismatic, and so full of life! We can’t wait to see the incredible impact she will have on her students during her second summer–this time in Croatia!
