Thank you for taking the time to share your passion with others. I am so thankful for our trail experience together. What an amazing group of people. The laughter we all shared! Such an amazing experience! – Andrea W.
I am so appreciative of the gentle manner in which Andy guides, coaches, encourages you to learn and grow. He sets you up so you feel confident to tackle a backpacking trip on your own. – Traci B.
Andy, you couldn't be any better than what you are! We learned so much and you made us feel so comfortable and made it all fun! – Gina B.
Andy shared his knowledge and led in a very polite and professional way throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to see all participants were safe, learning and enjoying the trip. The materials provided were extremely useful. Am not certain anything should be changed however I would like to be able to attend again, perhaps enjoying a longer hike. – Diana B.
Just cant wait for a longer trip!! – Darlene A.
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.
Loved the presentations, the humor, the information. Andy is a natural teacher, you made the Leave No Trace fun even for adults, and through the chuckles, made it thought provoking too. – Glen B.
I enjoyed all of it! The guides are the best I've ever shared a trip with. The learning clinics were excellent. – Kate S.
I just completed a 3 day solo hike on the AT. When my friend decided not to go, I relied on the experience gained from your backpacking course to do it solo. I want to thank you for course! – Carl R.
Great cost savings for non local attendees. – Ron B.
I have more knowledge and a greater appreciation for taking care of our wild places. – Naomi J.
I loved how everything was broken down and explained in an easy to understand manner. I had a wonderful experience and learned more than I thought possible. – Faith D.
Communication was great. – Holly G.
I liked the Leave No Trace discussions and the discussion in between with other participants – Name Withheld
I thought every bit was very well thought out down to the smallest detail. It was wonderful to not be in charge and have schedules, food, comfortable lodging and like minded people around. – Beth R.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
