Hawaiian Islands
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 June and July stay pretty warm. Keep this is mind as you prepare for your Moondance Adventure!
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. REI, Mountain High Outfitters, or local outdoor stores are great resources to find awesome gear and gain knowledge and advice. We encourage parents and students to check the local weather the weeks and days leading up to departure for their trip. For some locations, weather can vary significantly between early June and late July, and students going on a later session of a trip may not need an extra layer.
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 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.
