Welcoming Recreation for All
ABOUT US
Our Mission: To create welcoming recreation experiences that encourage confidence, wellness, growth, and joy.
Our programs focus on breaking down barriers that stand in the way
between a person and their outdoor aspirations
Program to empower you - participants walk away with the skills and tools needed to attain their recreational desires and goals. Whether it be learning how to change a flat tire, go above and beyond physically by cycling 30 or 100 miles, locating accessible trails or finding a hiking partner, back or bike packing for the first time, inspiring goals, or just remembering how to play... our aim is to create a welcoming environment for all to join in, learn, and enjoy.
Our Vision:
A recreation community that:
-
is absent of any gender, race, or socio-economic biases
-
redesigns the norms and expectations of who takes up space in the outdoors
-
provides equitable access to underrepresented communities
