Just got back from the Beginner Overnight Backpacking Adventure, and WOW!

I recently took the Beginner Overnight Backpacking Adventure at Windham Mountain, and it was life-changing! Al was an amazing guide who really made us feel comfortable. The hike to the campsite was beautiful and not too hard. We set up camp and even hiked to a Catskill summit the next day—it was breathtaking! Highly recommend this if you're looking for a fun outdoor experience. Perfect for beginners like me!

Considering gifting the Beginner Overnight Backpacking Adventure for my partner's birthday!

I think this beginner backpacking trip would be perfect for my partner who loves nature but has never camped before. I’m a little nervous about how they’ll handle the hike, though. Has anyone done it who can share their experience? I want this to be a perfect gift!
