I had no backpacking experience. I knew nothing about equipment or how to prepare for backpacking. But I do now. Thank you! – Deb G.
As usual, this trip exceeded my expectations. – Noelle A.

What a FUN group!!! We sure were living and laughing and loving life!!! – Cindy S.
I was super impressed with the workshops. The Ethics of the "Leave No Trace" principles are very important to me, and I was so pleased that they were stressed and practiced through out the weekend. – Shelly M.
The people, the events, the location, the guides...I loved it so much that I can't pick the best. – Rose K.
The trip felt like something out of a dream, seeing such sights. And just being on the AT itself, after spending so long reading about it. The trip gave me great confidence in my backpacking abilities, and made me feel sure I can thru-hike the AT when I'm ready. I can't wait to go back again in the future. – Alyssa R.
I highly recommend Outdoor Adventure Connection to anyone considering a backpacking trip. This program teaches you all the fundamentals required to not only be safe, but also have fun and feel comfortable backpacking without a guide. Thanks so much! – Dirk W.
I loved the rapelling and caving! – Angela W.
I would not change anything, the whole trip was fabulous. I enjoyed the workshops - especially the lingo workshop -- great way to break up the hiking and keep it entertaining! – Karen C.
I really appreciated the focus of the trail projects and how knowledgeable the trail boss is. – Robin R.
Still trying to absorb the absolutely wonderful experiences I had this past weekend. I highly recommend Outdoor Adventure Connection if you want to learn more about all things hiking. This is my second trip with them, and it was even more awesome than the first one. – Shelly M.
I thought the guides were great! They were very helpful. – Megan M.
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.
