A PERFECT weekend...well-planned, seamless, and packed with fun things. I'm not a sit-around-and-chat kind of girl. I do better connecting through activates, so I liked it jam-packed! I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the extras. – Renee W.
I liked Andy's leadership style: allowing flow to the work ; encouragement; teaching; sense of humor, appreciation and respect for each person. – Karen K.
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.
Workshops were very helpful - a wide range of equipment was displayed to give us a good idea of the options available. – P.T.
Given the challenging weather conditions, the trip was a fabulous success. I participated with a friend to encourage her to learn more about backpacking and build some confidence. – Lana P.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
