“My favorite section of the trip was definitely backpacking…

When we got to the top of the steep uphill on day three the view was stunning and everyone felt so accomplished. We then ate lunch with a picture perfect view!”

“In sending our kids to Overland, our goal was for them to become adventurous, acquire independence, confidence and leadership.

We also wanted them to be exposed to different cultures and experiences which would stretch them beyond their comfort zone.”

“I believe leadership is being able to love and care for all of the team members…

I’ve learned that leadership does not only rest on the “leader.” In a team, we all can and should lead. This summer, I’ll strive to empower and encourage ownership in each and every team member over our summer adventure!”
