Totally enjoyed the experience and new knowledge obtained. – Gregg W.
I loved the way the information was presented and the environment the guides created! As a new backpacker, I learned a lot - but I also learned that I still have a lot to learn! – Morgan H.
Thank you to the guides for the wealth of knowledge you provided. I definitely learned a lot and can't wait to apply this knowledge in the future. – Jackie C.
Was a wonderful trip! Lucy and Yvonne did a great job. I feel everyone learned something even though there was such a vast range of experience levels. – Jennifer P.
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.
Communication was great. – Holly G.

The hands-on workshops with water filters and fire building were especially helpful to me. There was much value in having a guide with Yvonne's vast experience to talk to women about backpacking safety and other issues from a female perspective. – Laurie J.
There is not ONE THING I WOULD CHANGE!!!!! The entire trip exceeded every expectation I had. And Andy, you could not have been a more wonderful, helpful, and genuinely kind person!!!! And I mean that 500%. It was especially awesome getting to know you better!! I now consider you more than my "backpacking guide"... I think of you now, truly, as my friend. – Gina B.
I liked the option of hiking at our own pace on Sunday morning, not being in a hurry to get to the hostel. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much! – Margie H.
The course was perfect and so was the location. – Matt P.
Your talent of welcoming and creating a comfortable atmosphere for All the backpackers is quite impressive. The entire backpacking trip was well planned and quite informative. Thank you so much! – Gayle B.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.

I thought that this workshop was a good test of the equipment my wife and I are planning to take next month when we begin section hiking on the AT. I particularly liked the helpful tips I received from both guides. – Randall B.
