Do you remember your first camping trip?

Roasting marshmallows over the fire, played cards with your family, taking a refreshing dip in the lake, and probably got way too much dirt in the tent. It was the best time of your life!

If that’s a feeling you still chase, you're just like us! You love getting back to nature, trying new things, and doing it all with the people you love.

I went to AOAE in 2023 for the first time and I can't wait for the next ones. The people were so friendly and kind. The courses and talks were super interesting and informative. I didn't get to them all so I am looking forward to learning more year after year. The event venue was great too, large enough that I still have spaces to explore, different camping areas for different needs and there were porta potties in various locations and bathrooms at the main gathering area. Honestly, well worth the trip up and I can't wait to go again. See you there?

Incredibly enjoyable experience, fun to watch some of the talks and presentations. Good food and wonderful people to talk to. Camping on the ground as well makes it a nice family weekend. Always looking forward to the next one!

We attended our first AOAE in 2023. It far exceeded our expectations. The workshops, vendors, entertainment, etc. were all top notch. We marked off our calendar for the 2024 expo as soon as we left. Even our teenaged son raved about it. Highly recommend!

The best big weekend event featuring so many demos, presentations, group activities, and events for the outdoor adventurer. From 4x4 overlanding to kayaking and bushcraft to tracking, the absolute most fun for everyone in the family. Loved all the children's events and the entertainment as well all the swag and how many prizes were available to be won. Definitely will be back.

I've been here 2 years in a row for the fall expo. I cant even tell you how awesome this is. From all the vendors to check out and events/classes to participate in, it really is an amazing weekend. What's even better is all the friendly people to chat with and discuss how they setup their adventures. As someone who's pretty shy there's no shortage of people to make you feel welcome and comfortable!!! Its definitely on my go to list for getting out of the city.
