The loved the amazing attention to detail and the supportive environment that the guides provided. Surprising to myself, I really enjoyed the yoga. And of course the hiking. The fantastic leaders set the tone for a group. They encouraged a supportive female environment from the start and ensured everyone felt comfortable and included. – Ellie H.

I loved the whole experience and can't wait to go on more trips to continue to expand my knowledge. – Margy R.
What an absolutely wonderful weekend this was! It was refreshing, challenging, relaxing, fun, therapeutic, inspiring, energizing, esteem building, educational and informative. The weekend was filled with new and unique experiences for me - caving, yoga, yoga in a cave, gourmet dining. Loved all of the caves we were able to see on the hikes and also the ones we were able to explore. I didn't realize how fun it would be to get up close and personal with a cave by crawling in the dirt on hands and knees. Sign me up for the next retreat! – Karen P.

There isn't just one thing that I loved about this trip. It was a wonderful experience all around. The group I was in was fantastic, helpful, kind, positive, adventurous, courageous, and honest.

Thanks so much for the great experience! Loved meeting the other people in our group and learning from the guides.Great memories! – Sara B.
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.
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.

The whole weekend was wonderfully organized. We were all kept busy but not too busy and I do love an itinerary! My only regret was not getting to know everyone better. – Susan D.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
