In the spirit of Hayes’ generosity, the Hitchens family created the Hayes Hitchens Scholarship Fund to honor Hayes’ mission to deliver the experience of a lifetime. Moondance is designed to inspire confidence, build lasting friendships, and foster a spirit of discovery in every teen who joins us. We understand that tuition is a significant investment, and it’s our hope that this scholarship fund helps make Moondance more accessible to teens seeking financial support.
Through this fund, we are grateful to continue providing meaningful, transformational experiences to students who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Applicants will be selected by a committee composed of Hayes’ family and close friends. Selected applicants will be displayed on the website along with what they hope to learn or take away from Moondance.
