Our Focus

Inclusion and Belonging

We support the integration of all demographics within our programs. Offering a space for all individuals to feel accepted, included, and wanted. From pros to first-timers, we want to build communal bridges that go far and wide!

Outdoor Education

We offer outdoor education through the Wilderness Education Association’s standards. Our community can learn the fundamentals of outdoor living and responsible ecological stewardship through the W.E.A.'s 6+1 curriculum.

Breaking Barriers

We listen. Using the knowledge we gain from local stakeholders, we dismantle barriers to access within our programs and to our local natural spaces. We believe the benefits of nature exposure belong to all people!
