It is perfect. – Mary M.
The educational aspects were excellent, easy to understand and very informative. I especially enjoyed Leave No Trace, tips on gear and the food preparation/tasting demo. – Charley S.
Workshops were very helpful - a wide range of equipment was displayed to give us a good idea of the options available. – P.T.
I really learned a lot and feel more prepared to go try this on my own. Both Andy and Lucy share the passion they have for this and that's infectious. – Rick S.
I enjoyed meeting new people and conversing with them. – Ned P.
Everything was fabulous!! I'm not sure I could begin to pick just one thing I liked best! – Gina B.
I had no backpacking experience. I knew nothing about equipment or how to prepare for backpacking. But I do now. Thank you! – Deb G.
The group size was perfect, the route choice was very interesting, and best of all Andy fostered great conversation among the group. – David W.
The entire trip from start to finish exceeded my expectations. Even though we had rain during portions of the adventure, that didn't change a thing! May even made the trip a bit more challenging. Do not change a thing, all breakout sessions were great. – Doug L.
I loved the scenery and the knowledge that the guides possess! They always have a great tip for each scenario. Only experience can teach that! Very easy to talk to! Can't wait for our next trip! – Joe T.
We wished the trip hadn't come to an end. Thank you for sharing your expertise and bringing us all together. – Terry O.
I loved everything. I came home and weighed everything in my pack. – Teresa A.
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.
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.
I had so much fun, learned so much, and connected with great women. – Eunice H.
I really appreciated the focus of the trail projects and how knowledgeable the trail boss is. – Robin R.
I had a wonderful experience. – Karen P.
