We are based in Akron, Ohio, the original home to many diverse nations, including the Ohio Seneca and Cayuga, Lenni Lenape (Delaware), Miami, Shawnee, Wyandot (Wendat), Ottawa (Odawa) and Ojibwe Nations.

This simply says "Open Trail Collective" as a heading for the website. It is in big block white letters.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to create inclusive and empowering events dedicated to connecting Every Body and the outdoors. We aim to break down barriers and provide a welcoming space for Every Body to embrace the transformative power of outdoor adventure together.

OUR "WHY"

We know that outdoor adventure has been dominated by white male cis-gendered able-bodies, and we’ve seen it firsthand. We have learned from dads, hidden behind partners, and stayed on the sidelines because we didn’t see anyone who looked like us pushing boundaries and leading the adventures. We’re eager to rewrite the narrative and redraw the main characters. While barriers look different, we know one thing for certain - we recognize the transformative power of outdoor adventure and we’re eager to build a community where Every Body is free to try something new, fail, get muddy, try again, succeed, and have fun.

OUR PLAN

We collaborate with groups, businesses, nonprofits, and outdoor leaders to curate events that bring together a community of new and experienced adventurers. We use our platform to advocate for and model a more accessible and inclusive outdoors - because we believe that Every Body deserves adventure.

Join us as we blaze trails, break barriers, and create a world where outdoor adventure knows no bound!
