I loved the 'can do' attitude, no matter the experience level of the client. They gave me a lot of confidence that no matter your experience level or physical fitness level, this can be done. – Traci B.
I had an absolutely amazing time in the Roan Highlands. We hiked over beautiful grassy balds and mountains and had gorgeous weather, and were able to see all the mountains surrounding us. We saw beautiful flowers: rhododendrons blooming and fire azaleas and all sorts of wild flowers. I wish everyone could see such beautiful things and experience such peace, being out in nature. – Alyssa R.
I thought the hike and workshop were excellent. I think even experienced backpackers can benefit from this workshop. – Ned P.
The trip and workshops were fantastic. I met some new friends and learned so much. Thank you so much. This is just the beginning for me! – Normajean R.
Well organized and informative. I really liked the ability to hike the AT with an experienced guide. I got out of this what I hoped for and then some. The experience accelerated my learning curve and ability to do multi-day backpacking trips. – Rick J.
I thought this was a fantastic group and I enjoyed learning from the other backpackers. I certainly appreciate the guide sharing his knowledge and experiences. – Sharon J.

This was a wonderful way to test out if I still wanted to backpack after all these years. Andy was very helpful and gave some incredible workshops with Yvonne. – John S.

The course was perfect and so was the location. – Matt P.
I loved the daily yoga, especially the cave! – Kelli B.
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.
Great guide and beautiful views! – Marilyn H.
Really appreciate the Girl Scouts generosity in making this facility available. Having overnight accommodations does a lot to expand the participation. – Barry R.
Everything was fabulous!! I'm not sure I could begin to pick just one thing I liked best! – Gina B.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
