"I took a backpacking class with Crescent Moon and I can’t recommend it enough! The class was both fun and incredibly informative—I learned so much about how to properly pack for a trip and how to read maps with confidence. I walked away feeling stronger, more prepared, and excited for my next outdoor journey. This is such a valuable resource for women looking to explore the outdoors—highly recommend!"
