Perfect as is. – Patty B.
I'm glad I went on this trip. I learned that the AT is a friendly place and that I can climb a mountain and gained confidence to return some other time and do it on my own. It was great meeting such a nice group of people, and I made some new friends to hike with back home. – Cheryl T.
I really liked the relaxed, low key atmosphere. I think that having leaders who are knowledgeable without being overbearing really helped everyone relax and enjoy the experience without feeling intimidated. – Amy G.
This was a great introduction to backpacking. A just right experience for beginners enhanced by beautiful weather. – Ellen G.
The whole weekend was an incredible experience. It went far beyond my expectations. – Shelly M.
This surpassed my expectations. Loved every minute. – Susan R.
The trip has armed me with the knowledge that I was previously lacking in terms of packing needs, backwoods hygiene and Leave No Trace principles. Great job! – Jessica C.
I loved trying the different meals. They were delicious and gave me tons of ideas! – Jaime S.
I really liked the planning that was evident on this trip. No one can predict the weather - and we certainly experienced 3 of the 4 seasons - but there were plans in place to deal with whatever mother nature threw at us. – Linda M.
I loved everything about this trip. I had such a great time. This was such a great learning experience and was a great start to more backpacking. – Ben K.
Fantastic trip and a great time. Looking forward to participating in more events! – Shawn L.
The trip and workshops were fantastic. I wouldn't change anything. – Normajean R.
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.
Everything was amazing. – Renee G.
I learned so much on this trip, like how to fit my backpack, how to set up my tent, how to start a fire, how to cross a river and how to be a responsible backpacker. I was surprised that we got the chance to try so many varieties of backpacking food. – Junlan L.
The guide was a great leader and teacher. I highly recommend this trip. – Rita S.
I enjoyed all of it! The guides are the best I've ever shared a trip with. The learning clinics were excellent. – Kate S.
I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share this adventure with. – Jackie C.
Every detail was accounted for which is impressive given the amount of details involved! Making sure we all had instruction and communication on what came next was so great. You both truly made us each feel welcomed and included and safe. I cannot express enough how awesome it all was! – Christina P.
Well planned and allowed for some solo self-learning as well with follow up, – Cleo W.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
