We Welcome Your Application to Join Us!
We build each of our groups with care, keeping the groups small (no more than twelve students), and paying close attention to age, grade, gender, and the mix of hometowns and schools. Our goal is to put together great groups — groups where nice kids thrive in a supportive, wholesome, and caring environment. Please note: availability as shown is based on students traveling without a friend; if your child is interested in traveling with a friend, please call our office for availability.

There was nothing more I wanted to do during my childhood than play outside with my siblings.
Being called inside – for dinner, bed, or any other reason – was one of my worst fears. My siblings and I loved to play in our backyard until it was too dark to see. I grew up in a magical little ski town called Crested Butte, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, where I was lucky to hike, camp, ski, and, my personal favorite, mountain bike. I attended Colorado State University and majored in Integrated Visual Studies, where my senior project focused on food insecurity and its implications on childhood development.
I led New England Explorer and Appalachian Trail Expedition, and joined the trip planning team soon after. If I could piece together my dream job, it would look just like what I do now at Overland — creating an environment where we share challenges and triumphs of outdoor experiences with students. It is rewarding to watch our work unfold as we piece together trips and watch students discover the excitement and adventure that comes with an Overland experience.
As I design trips for Overland students, I’m fueled by my desire to share the same magic I felt in the outdoors throughout my childhood with our students. Our team is unique in that we not only get to share the outdoors with students, but also with one another as we adventure together outside of work. I am honored to be a part of the Overland team.
