Andy is a great leader; he helped us with our weaknesses and praised our strengths. He provided a nice balance of group hiking and also let us hike at our own pace.

We learned a lot of new information about how to prepare ourselves for backpacking. It was great to be able to rent some equipment and try it out before making the investment in backpacking equipment. I also loved that you tailored the information to what folks wanted to know. Wonderful experience overall! – Kari M.
Really appreciate the Girl Scouts generosity in making this facility available. Having overnight accommodations does a lot to expand the participation. – Barry R.
It was absolutely amazing. I would not change a thing. I hope you do more trips. I will definitely sign up. It was great meeting all the other women. We had a very nice group. – Terrie W.
The trip was wonderful and inspiring. My favorite part was crossing the river. I can not think of any changes needed. It was also nice to meet others interested in backpacking. It was impressive how hard the guides worked to assist us setting up camp on a rainy day and then cooking so many different foods for us to try. I will book another trip! – Sally D.
I was inspired by the stories from each guide and I no longer feel like I missed my chance because I didn't do this when is was "young". – Naomi J.
The group size was perfect, the route choice was very interesting, and best of all Andy fostered great conversation among the group. – David W.
I loved the rappelling and the yoga in the cave, and of course, I always love hiking. The food was excellent, Linda and Kristy did a great job preparing it. The cabins were great, loved having the wood burning fireplace, and there was plenty of space for 4 people. The employees at the resort, from the restaurant to the guides, were all so nice. – Name Withheld
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
