I liked that everyone was encouraged to do/try each activity but that no one was made to feel badly if they did not want to do something. It seems that everyone accomplished what they hoped and that people overcame their fears, too! – Amanda L.
Had a great time! Guides were very knowledgeable and I loved how they shared their personal experiences and answered all questions thoughtfully and honestly. I will definitely take an advanced workshop. – Mike K.
The whole weekend was an incredible experience. It went far beyond my expectations. – Shelly M.
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.
The learning process continued throughout the weekend! – Lynn J.
Enjoyed every detail of the trip. Since you can't change the weather there is nothing I would change. Excellent experience! – Cathy F.

I thought the experience was great. I came to just hike and see the beautiful scenery but I truly learned a great deal from all of you. – Rachel M.
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.
Andy has a gift for teaching about backpacking. I learned so much from him and the other guides. Loved all the workshops and testing out the backpacker meals was extremely helpful. – Tracy H.
