“Angie and Chris were PHENOMENAL instructors and were the best part of the trip! I learned so much and both of them were great at teaching and adapting to questions and the group dynamics. We had such a wide spectrum of experience levels in the group that it was really impressive how well Chris and Angie were able to accommodate and keep everyone progressing along together at a great clip. ”
