Colorado Trail
Information for Enrolled Students
We’ve provided packing recommendations below; however, equivalent items work just fine. We also offer many items for sale or rent via our online store. Keep in mind that Colorado can still be chilly in June and July! Warm layers are very important, as evening temperatures can dip down in the low 40s. This is particularly important for first session in which the snowpack may not have melted. Please consider bringing additional layers for first session!
When packing for your student, we kindly recommend involving them in the process. This ensures they are familiar with where their items are and what they’ve packed, making their experience smoother and more enjoyable. Checking the weather of your student’s trip destination(s) can help ensure they have proper gear.
In the event that your luggage is delayed or lost in transit, we want you to be prepared. Therefore, wear tennis or hiking shoes on the plane. Plus, pack the following items from this packing list in your daypack / school backpack carry-on:
These items are already included in the packing list – they are not additional items!
3- or 4-person, single-gender Marmot or Big Agnes tents at frontcountry and backcountry campsites.
Please bring all personal eating utensils listed on the packing list. Moondance will provide all group cooking gear.
If you have any special dietary restrictions / considerations, please contact the Moondance office for further information.
We recommend you book with our partner travel agency (Corporate Traveler) for this trip. Please complete this form, and they will be in touch in 3-5 days via email with flight options.
