Loved it, would love to go again – Jen K.

The whole weekend was an incredible experience. It went far beyond my expectations. – Shelly M.

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.

What a fabulous adventure! Where to start? This section of the Roan Highlands is magical in its beauty. The flowers, the trees, the boulders, the steep climbs, the grassy balds, set against the backdrop of mountainous ridge after ridge were breath taking. – Karen P.

Great schedule of events. Enjoyed that activities were optional. Good pacing during the day. Don't have any areas for improvement! – Missy R.

I loved every minute, every aspect of this trip. Would love to do again...right now!!! Love that Andy builds our confidence level and makes the experience so enjoyable. Best guide ever!!! – Johnene I.

A perfect "beginning".... Our leaders were educated, informative, sharing, real and FUN! Andy was aware of each participants needs, comforts and limitations. – Terri J.

I thought the hike and workshop were excellent. I think even experienced backpackers can benefit from this workshop. – Ned P.

Paddleboarding and kayaking were the best! – Patty S.

The trip was wonderful and inspiring. My favorite part was crossing the river. I can not think of any changes needed. It was also nice to meet others interested in backpacking. It was impressive how hard the guides worked to assist us setting up camp on a rainy day and then cooking so many different foods for us to try. I will book another trip! – Sally D.

Change nothing! It was perfect! :-) – Lisa S.

I enjoyed everything. – Carol A.

It was perfect the way it was. Just enough time to "get your feet wet" I like there are other courses that build from this experience. – Andrea W.

I loved the whole experience and can't wait to go on more trips to continue to expand my knowledge. – Margy R.

I loved the way the information was presented and the environment the guides created! As a new backpacker, I learned a lot - but I also learned that I still have a lot to learn! – Morgan H.

It was perfect! – Laurie B.

Excellent! – Tanya M.

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.

We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help. Read More

I wouldn't change a thing! This was an absolutely wonderful experience! Every detail was planned and well thought out by our guide. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending this trip to a someone who has never backpacked, a beginning backpacker or someone who want to brush up on their skills. I am really looking forward to attending OAC trips in the future. Thanks so much for an excellent experience! – Amanda R.
