Keep in mind that June and July are still pretty chilly in Alaska! Warm layers are very important, as evening temperatures can dip down in the low 30s. Alaska summers often bring some rain, so be sure to pack appropriate rain gear. Please ensure your student has broken in their hiking boots before arriving.
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.
