Perfect as is. – Patty B.
The workshops were excellent. The guides were very helpful; answering many questions from me and fellow backpackers. – Kris S.
The trip exceeded all expectations I could possibly dream up and I can't wait to go on my next trip with y'all. – Lauren B.
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 and workshops were fantastic. I met some new friends and learned so much. Thank you so much. This is just the beginning for me! – Normajean R.
Great instructor. Very engaging and explained everything very well. – Beate T.
What an absolutely wonderful weekend this was! It was refreshing, challenging, relaxing, fun, therapeutic, inspiring, energizing, esteem building, educational and informative. The weekend was filled with new and unique experiences for me - caving, yoga, yoga in a cave, gourmet dining. Loved all of the caves we were able to see on the hikes and also the ones we were able to explore. I didn't realize how fun it would be to get up close and personal with a cave by crawling in the dirt on hands and knees. Sign me up for the next retreat! – Karen P.
Andy and his team are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They provided valuable beginner backpacker information in a welcoming and encouraging environment. – Terra D.
The learning process continued throughout the weekend! – Lynn J.

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.
Thank you Again Andy for a Wonderful Weekend. Beautiful Scenery, Perfect Weather and a GREAT group of Hiking Friends. These trips definitely allow me to go to places I would NEVER venture out on my own. – Kimberly S.
I learned so much in such a short time and met so many nice people. – Michele D.
I liked how open the guides were to questions - felt like I could ask anything, no matter how silly or trivial it was. – Fran G.
The trip was awesome. I honestly have nothing to say that could be improved. Great company, workshops and positive atmosphere! – Paula H.
The entire trip was great. I was at ease as soon as I met all the guides. They were professional and made the trip a fun learning experience, even in the rain. I couldn't ask for a better program to learn backpacking skills. I'm thankful I signed up. Thank you for a great adventure! – Catie H.
Excellent guide and location! – Erin V.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.

The trip was absolutely fabulous and Andy and our group of adventurers were upbeat and positive even with mother nature throwing us a few unexpected curve balls. I would do another trip in a heartbeat! – Paige
