I had the most fun together on Saturday night and then it was over! Would be nice to have had one more night! The guides were awesome. The park was just beautiful - I will go back!Theresa G.

We both learned a lot. Being new I am not sure what would make it better. The hiking itself was my favorite.Minette S.

I just completed a 3 day solo hike on the AT. When my friend decided not to go, I relied on the experience gained from your backpacking course to do it solo. I want to thank you for course!Carl R.

I thought you did a wonderful job of planning and organizing the trip. It was my first group tour and thought it was great!Lucy W.

Great schedule of events. Enjoyed that activities were optional. Good pacing during the day. Don't have any areas for improvement!Missy R.

I can't wait until my next adventure with OAC. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, especially the memories :)Lucy W.

The loved the amazing attention to detail and the supportive environment that the guides provided. Surprising to myself, I really enjoyed the yoga. And of course the hiking. The fantastic leaders set the tone for a group. They encouraged a supportive female environment from the start and ensured everyone felt comfortable and included.Ellie H.

I learned lots of little tips for efficient backpacking and met some great new hiking buddies.Tali H.

I can't pick any one thing I liked "best". I thought the whole trip was great. You have done an outstanding job on the other trips I've been on with you and you did so again on this one. First rate all the way.Jack L.

Great guide with a wealth of knowledge. Well planned and executed.Narayan R.

Andy did a great job of organizing and leading the trip and the companionship was top notch.Anne B.

What I like best is learning survival skills out in the woods but also those that could be applied to every day life such as Stopa!M.W.

This is my SECOND trip and this time, conditions were extremely challenging with so much rain!! But, I learned a whole lot about how to backpack in less than stellar conditions!! That's a great thing!!! Gina B.

I went on the trip to the Appalachian Trail. Awesome time as usual with Lucy and Yvonne!Joy W.

Communication was great.Holly G.

Andy shared his knowledge and led in a very polite and professional way throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to see all participants were safe, learning and enjoying the trip. The materials provided were extremely useful. Am not certain anything should be changed however I would like to be able to attend again, perhaps enjoying a longer hike.Diana B.

We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help. Read More

I really liked the relaxed, low key atmosphere. I think that having leaders who are knowledgeable without being overbearing really helped everyone relax and enjoy the experience without feeling intimidated.Amy G.
