Andy's inspirational and informative navigation is top notch. His passion for and deep knowledge of the AT is so tangible in both his planned workshops and informal conversations. I learned so much. – Rhonda T.
Paddleboarding and kayaking were the best! – Patty S.
Everything was fabulous!! I'm not sure I could begin to pick just one thing I liked best! – Gina B.
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.
First one I've been on, and it was wonderful. Great people, guides, location and activity. Thanks for pulling it together!!! – Name Withheld
I don't know when I would ever get a chance to do that with such special people again. Loved it! – Janet R.
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.
All of the guides were amazingly friendly and very knowledgeable. I am very appreciative of everything all of you did. – Rachel M.
I loved how easy this event was for me. I didn't have to think about anything other than showing up. I loved every activity and honestly can't think of anything to change. I can't wait to do another one in the future. – Melissa L.
The entire trip from start to finish exceeded my expectations. Even though we had rain during portions of the adventure, that didn't change a thing! May even made the trip a bit more challenging. Do not change a thing, all breakout sessions were great. – Doug L.
I feel more confident for future backpacking trips. I learned much more than I anticipated. Thank you. – Charley S.
The hands-on workshops with water filters and fire building were especially helpful to me. There was much value in having a guide with Yvonne's vast experience to talk to women about backpacking safety and other issues from a female perspective. – Laurie J.
This was a great weekend for beginners. It definitely makes you want to keep on backpacking. – Theresa W.
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.
The whole weekend was wonderfully organized. We were all kept busy but not too busy and I do love an itinerary! My only regret was not getting to know everyone better. – Susan D.
Andy was a great guide and I had a wonderful time on the trail. I learned a lot about what to do and what not to do and I wouldn't change anything about his demonstrations. – Carmen P.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
