I had a great time. I learned so much about backpacking. I really appreciate all the help I got, especially on the hill:) – Patty O.
I really liked the evening supper and getting to try all the different freeze dried foods to see what we liked. All the workshops were really great and I liked how all the information was presented in a fun and relaxed atmosphere! – Erika O.
Thank you for the incredible amount of knowledge shared - the hands on experience made me ready for the next step - let's do an intermediate hike! – Tara S.
I wouldn't change a thing! This was an absolutely wonderful experience! Every detail was planned and well thought out by our guide. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending this trip to a someone who has never backpacked, a beginning backpacker or someone who want to brush up on their skills. I am really looking forward to attending OAC trips in the future. Thanks so much for an excellent experience! – Amanda R.

Andy's inspirational and informative navigation is top notch. His passion for and deep knowledge of the AT is so tangible in both his planned workshops and informal conversations. I learned so much. – Rhonda T.
The guides did a great job. You both did tons of work and were never flustered and always smiling. And you took care of all of us. I really appreciate that. – Tim S.
I learned lots of little tips for efficient backpacking and met some great new hiking buddies. – Tali H.
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.
Everything was fabulous!! I'm not sure I could begin to pick just one thing I liked best! – Gina B.
I loved the whole experience. This was a great trip, the mini training sessions were great and our guides were experienced and willing to share their stories and offer great suggestions and advice. – Joy W.
Loved it, would love to go again – Jen K.
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.
The views were beautiful! I enjoyed meeting new hikers. – Yvonne E.
I really enjoyed the overnight in a tent and the demo of jet boil. I appreciate learning how to pack my pack; it was way to unnecessarily heavy. – Jeremiah H.
I didn't know much about the ethics of backpacking until this weekend. I now know how important it is to apply the "Leave No Trace Principles" while in the woods. I had FUN and that matters most. Thank you again for being awesome organizers! – Sarah N.
Smooth and professional on all levels. – Ron B.
