Will, 20, from Charlotte, NC, steps into his first summer as a Moondance Trip Leader while studying at Wake Forest University. His time with Moondance began as a student on three trips: Big Wild, Fiji, and Mystery Trip through India and the Himalayas, each reinforcing his connection to the Moondance community. Outside of Moondance, he has built strong outdoor leadership experience through training at the Alzar School, including expedition work in Patagonia and Idaho, and as a raft guide at the U.S. National Whitewater Center. He also brings a background in athletics as a former soccer captain, along with a long-standing interest in outdoor literature and exploration. Will leads with humility and steady energy, aiming to create a space where students can disconnect from distractions and grow through shared challenge and authentic connection. We are so excited to see the impact he makes on his students this summer!
