The guides took the time and energy to produce a great experience. – John L.

The guides were friendly and helpful. The activities were varied and interesting. The cabins were lovely. – Patty H.

I liked that everyone was encouraged to do/try each activity but that no one was made to feel badly if they did not want to do something. It seems that everyone accomplished what they hoped and that people overcame their fears, too! – Amanda L.

I'm now an experienced backpacker thanks to Outdoor Adventure Connection. Their workshops, presentations, backpack trips, and hikes have turned an interest in the outdoors into a passion. Andy is a natural at educating and promoting. He knows how to teach; he knows how to encourage; he knows when to challenge; he has a knack for connecting with people. He's creative, energetic, and a master at organization. – Karen C.

The whole experience was great: very friendly and knowledgeable leaders, great group of women, and wonderful views! – Robin T.

This was a great workshop. – Eira. T.

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.

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.

I loved the route plan, absolutely beautiful. Great time of year for this section, not too cold (keeps bugs away) and not too hot. The folks were great, fun. – Diana P.

The pace of the activities planned was spot on.  Enough time to enjoy each of them and enough down time in between to get ready for the next.  I can’t think of anything that could have been better. – Ann Y.
