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.

Becoming a mother drew me back to the Berkshires

Having grown up in the Berkshires at the base of Mt. Greylock, I have been able to experience the sheer beauty that the area has to offer from all angles. Spending hours on end exploring the forest and trails, to crafting lean-tos in my backyard, I grew up embracing nature.

My love for the outdoors continued as college pulled me to New Hampshire where I skied competitively and explored the White Mountains. For me, getting outside and being able to move freely is so invigorating. Throughout my life, I have participated in team sports and I’ve been given the opportunity to experience a multitude of adventure-based trips. These challenges helped me learn my strengths and weaknesses, and find my courage.

I wanted to give my children the same freeing experiences surrounded by nature that my parents were able to give me. I feel honored to be a part of the Admissions Team at Overland and am fortunate to work with others who are so passionate and motivated. The Overland Team is a dedicated group working together to accomplish one goal: helping students find their next adventure.
