REVIEWS

Peter Shell Feb - These trips are truly fantastic. Some of the most well read and open minded people I’ve ever met all gathered together to share ideas. A once in a lifetime experience.

Jamie Rainwater - Easily one of the best retreat style trips available when it comes to truly wondrous hosts and subject matters.

Eric White - I feel so lucky to have found these guys. The Megafloods - Columbia Gorge tour with Randall Carlson was just the right combo of “holy sh*t” moments of awe-inspiring beauty, and deeply meaningful conversations and lectures. All the travel, accommodations, and meals were very well orchestrated and top notch. And when it’s time to cut loose, these guys know how to party. 🥳 Nothing but love for these folks and I’ll definitely be a repeat visitor. Thank you CAC! ❤️


Gianni Bravo - Darren and Graham put on the most incredible experience at the most unbelievable location with Brandon Powell who completely surpassed my biggest expectations in so many ways

The accommodations were spectacular

The food and the professional cook was second to none

The activities were organized completely perfectly and the other guests were only the best gals and guys I could’ve met and I’m pretty sure all of us will be lifelong friends after experiencing this weekend together

I can’t explain how many cool things happened and how chill everyday was!

It had everything - pushing yourself to experience things you never imagined - relaxing times sitting next to a wood fired stove with excellent conversation - ambiance that one could never imagine - and British Columbia at it’s absolute best

The views oh my God the views 🇨🇦❤️

And it ends with the best karaoke party I’ve been lucky enough to participate in! 🇨🇦💃
