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.

I’m constantly surprising myself with new passions and adventures.
I’ve fallen in love with a lot of things: playing ice hockey, writing, bicycle touring, and, most recently, the Adirondack mountains. I’ll give almost anything a try because you never know when it will spark new excitement.
I’ve been lucky to have a constantly growing and evolving role at Overland. As a student, my experiences built the foundation for a love of challenge and the outdoors that carried me all the way to leader training here in Williamstown. For five summers, I led trips and worked on the operations team. Connecting with students and co-leaders to move through challenges and appreciate the world around us has been one of my greatest joys. I will never forget my students’ strengths. Watching them embrace every challenge with perseverance and wonder was incredible. To me, that’s the essence of Overland: to find joy in difficult moments because you’re surrounded by people who care.
I look forward to helping both leaders and students grow from their experiences with Overland and working with such a dedicated and compassionate team. Overland leaders have an amazing opportunity to inspire their students and I am so excited to help them feel empowered and prepared for their summer.
