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 liked our accommodations, food, and evening activities. I enjoyed meeting the Carter Cave park staff. – Debbie B.
I loved the trip and enjoyed it thoroughly! I was anxious before the trip because I wasn't sure if I brought the right items but Andy made me feel confident in my pack right by reviewing its contents and telling my why I needed/didn't need certain items. – Ashley V.
I liked the variety of activities and that they were mostly outside. – Teri H.
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.
Really appreciate the Girl Scouts generosity in making this facility available. Having overnight accommodations does a lot to expand the participation. – Barry R.
I can't pick any one thing I liked "best". I thought the whole trip was great. You have done an outstanding job on the other trips I've been on with you and you did so again on this one. First rate all the way. – Jack L.
I was inspired by the stories from each guide and I no longer feel like I missed my chance because I didn't do this when is was "young". – Naomi J.
I highly recommend Outdoor Adventure Connection to anyone considering a backpacking trip. This program teaches you all the fundamentals required to not only be safe, but also have fun and feel comfortable backpacking without a guide. Thanks so much! – Dirk W.

It is perfect. – Mary M.
OUTSTANDING trip and experience! I didn't know a thing about backpacking before this trip and by the time we got back to our cars on the last day, I no longer felt like a novice! I feel very comfortable going backpacking again without my wonderful guides now and actually am planning on going on a solo trip soon. – Ashley O.
It is hard to pick one thing that was best because it was all so awesome. – Maria D.
I've done the workshop twice, and I can't recommend one thing to make it better! Fantastic! – Gina B.
I feel more confident for future backpacking trips. I learned much more than I anticipated. Thank you. – Charley S.

The entire experience could not have been better. I will cherish the memory of our laughs and the breathtaking views for years to come. – Matt P.
The guides were terrific! Very kind and encouraging. The workshops were very informative- but I most just enjoyed all the stories and great tips that were shared throughout the trip. This was the best thing I have done for myself in a long time!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. – Laura H.
I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share this adventure with. – Jackie C.
