About
Our Mission
The Moonlight Youth Packers mission is to foster character and leadership in local youth through immersive experiences in traditional outdoor recreation. We aim to cultivate a deep respect for nature and responsibility by teaching the skills of riding, packing, and caring for mules and horses. Through hands-on learning and mentorship, we empower young individuals to develop resilience, teamwork, and stewardship, ensuring they grow into confident, capable, and conscientious leaders.
