We would never have done our first AT trip if not for Outdoor Adventure Connection. The whole trip was awesome. I love that you even arranged perfect weather for us. I learned so much and feel much more comfortable now about hiking overnight. – Teri H.

It was great being able to stay in cabins, not camp out. The friendly and involved park staff made the event a sure success. – Frank C.

The training was exactly what I was looking for. Yvonne and Lucy are AMAZING women, and I feel very luck to have had the chance to learn from them. – Andrea W.

I loved meeting new friends and comparing equipment. I don't think I would change a thing. I liked the fact that every time we talked about things like water filtering or camp stoves, someone there had used something different and we got to see how they worked. Visual experience is always the best. – Sara D.

The trip was very helpful to me as a beginner. – Naomi J.

Was a really good class all around! Thanks!! – Rindy W.

A PERFECT weekend...well-planned, seamless, and packed with fun things. I'm not a sit-around-and-chat kind of girl. I do better connecting through activates, so I liked it jam-packed! I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the extras. – Renee W.

The guide was great! She was so patient and caring. I believe she went above and beyond. – Carrie N.

I thought the experience was great. I came to just hike and see the beautiful scenery but I truly learned a great deal from all of you. – Rachel M.

The educational aspects were excellent, easy to understand and very informative. I especially enjoyed Leave No Trace, tips on gear and the food preparation/tasting demo. – Charley S.

It was all excellent. I would not have changed a thing. It was as described when I signed up. The guides were so helpful, informative, answered all questions and were only encouraging in all our efforts. I give them an A+ – Kelly E.

I had so much fun, learned so much, and connected with great women. – Eunice H.

I liked the variety of activities, the location, the flow of the schedule, and all the little details the best. I like the whole weekend the best! I don't think you could have done anything better. – Barb C.
