Hiking, tomahawk throwing and thought the adventure was well planned and staff approachable and eager to make sure the event was safe & fun! – Jill V.
The pace of the activities planned was spot on. Enough time to enjoy each of them and enough down time in between to get ready for the next. I can’t think of anything that could have been better. – Ann Y.
Honestly, everything was amazing. I honestly wouldn’t change a single thing about this experience. – Jemi W.
I really enjoyed all. I feel a lot better thanks to this experience and feel more comfortable – Teresa P.
I really learned a lot and feel more prepared to go try this on my own. Both Andy and Lucy share the passion they have for this and that's infectious. – Rick S.
I especially enjoyed the creek crossing! I was also very glad to learn about additional techniques for hanging bear bags and all sorts of general safety tips. I can't think of anything I would change - even glad I now know how to handle backpacking in the rain. – Jessica C.
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 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.
I'm now an experienced backpacker thanks to Outdoor Adventure Connection. Their workshops, presentations, backpack trips, and hikes have turned an interest in the outdoors into a passion. Andy is a natural at educating and promoting. He knows how to teach; he knows how to encourage; he knows when to challenge; he has a knack for connecting with people. He's creative, energetic, and a master at organization. – Karen C.
Don't change a thing Andy! I had a fantastic time. – Chris C.
