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.
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 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 with passion and purpose that introduce people to the wonders of the outdoors through adventures such as hiking, biking, kayaking, and more! We also hope that by providing space to connect the movers and shakers in the outdoor industry that we can spark innovation based on accessibility, inclusivity, and collaboration.
​​
As a non-profit social enterprise, we reinvest revenue generated back in to programming that further includes communities typically excluded from outdoor adventure. Join us as we blaze trails, break barriers, and create a world where outdoor adventure knows no bounds.
​
Every event we plan is built around the following principles:
​
1. Be welcoming to Every Body
2. Support and amplify local businesses, guides, community leaders, etc
3. Leave No Trace
4. Education is key
5. Give more than we take in all aspects
6. Impact > Intent
7. Advocacy for climate and environmental justice
