“My Moondance experience allowed me to be myself. I
was challenged, encouraged, and cared for by all members of my group. As a group we
had multiple eye opening experiences that deepened our
understanding of ourselves. In the end I walked away with
a new side of myself I didn’t know I had.!”
Will Chapman, 14, St. Louis, MO

Travel across the Atlantic
to Oslo, where you will
make your way north
to the “Land of the
Giants,” Jotunheimen
National Park. Make
yourself at home among
the peaks and valleys of
this amazing place, and
prepare for your trekking
adventure.
Spend six days hiking from mountain hut to
mountain hut in Jotunheimen National Park,
enjoying the jaw-dropping scenery of majestic
peaks, crystal clear alpine lakes, and sparkling
white glaciers along the way. Learn to navigate
by map and compass as you plot your course
across this unique terrain. The hikes won’t
always be easy, but every valley and mountain
pass you find guarantees an incredible view
and a once in a lifetime hiking experience.
Complete your time in Jotunheimen National
Park with a summit bid of Norway’s highest
peak, Galdhopiggen. Follow your expert
mountain guides across the glacier and tackle
the rocky ridges as a team while you make
your way to the best seat in the house - the
8,100 ft summit. From here, you can trace the
route you hiked through the entire national
park from a bird’s-eye view. This is the
perfect way to cap off the trekking section of
your trip. Rest your weary legs and relax with
a visit to the ancient Viking town of Lom.

From the mountains to the sea, it’s
time to embark on your sea kayaking
journey into Norway’s famous fjords.
Spend three days kayaking through
these dramatic canyons, carved
over thousands of years by Norway’s
massive glaciers. Camp in true
backcountry style on the shore each
night, cooking your own meals and
enjoying time with each other under
the stars. This is truly the best way to
see Norway.
After a few days on the water, it’s
time to return to the mountains and
learn to rock the rocks. Test your
skills on one of Norway’s famous
fjords and climb a via ferrata in the
Loen valley. Clipped into iron cables
in the Italian climbing style, navigate
the ridges and cliffs of this beautiful
valley with your group as you scale
the side of the mountain. Take a few
moments at the top to enjoy the
view before taking a cable car back
down into the valley and head to
your lakeside camp.
Spend your last few days in Norway
seaside. Tap into Norway’s ancient
coastal culture as you swim and
hike along the beaches, cliffs, and
trails of this beautiful shoreline.
Learn to fish in the true Norweigian
style using rods and nets as you
navigate the rich waters around
Davik and Smørhamn.
