Did the Trek meet your expectations? Why or why not?

Did the Trek meet your expectations? Why or why not?​
"Yes! Over our expectations- a perfect balance of challenge + fun while learning."
What do you think of our in-camp program?
"It was quite good. I loved the tubing and found it so fun and exhilarating. I haven't done something like that before. The program building with the pool table, etc. is really relaxing and a very nice place to hang out, especially after a long trek."

Describe the strengths and weaknesses of your Voyager.
"He is a very wise man and taught us about how to canoe, how to use a stove and water filter, efficiently make a fire, set up camp, and sort out priorities. He is an excellent guide: giving us space to navigate. No weaknesses, to be honest. Probably the nicest leader I have ever met."
