GroupWe had a little bonding time today with some of our full time summer staff at the Character Challenge Course! It’s a great place if you are looking to add a few extra thrills to your vacation. Awesome staff and cool facility, definitely a good choice if you want some time off the lake. Here’s a quick intro for our summer staff:

FORREST

Forrest is one of the full time summer staff at Half Moon Trail Resort, in Park Rapids, MN

Many of the past guests know this familiar face! After spending last summer in Texas, he’s back before starting his “real job” as a teacher and coach in Missouri.

Fun fact about Forrest: He can almost clear a two story building with a skinny fiberglass pole…and he’s the only guy I know who has bought a car for $1!

MANDY

Mandy is one of the full time summer staff at Half Moon Trail Resort, in Park Rapids, MN

This is Mandy’s second summer, but she’s like family to us, and we are sooo happy she is back!

Fun fact about Mandy – she jumped out of a plane, and survived!  And, she can crack an egg with one hand.

ANNALISE

Half Moon Trail Staff at the Character Challenge Course

Annalise has been a part of our amazing cleaning crew for quite some time, but she became part of our full time staff last year. We are thankful she is back and hopeful for more great years to come!

Fun fact about Annalise – she’s been cleaning cabins at Half Moon since she was 8!  And, as I found out on the obstacle course this morning, she is very fast!

KAYLA

Michaela is one of the full time summer staff at Half Moon Trail Resort

Kayla – Most of you know that Kayla is my younger sister, and we are very blessed to have her living right down the road. She is a huge help, and definitely gets the award for being the veteran around here.


Fun fact about Kayla – She can stand on her head for 4 minutes and 27 seconds! Can anyone say, headache? And, she’s a great photographer!
