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 promote adventure within Northeast Ohio while advocating for a more inclusive, accessible, and collaborative outdoor community.
We do this by creating 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. So, we’re here to rewrite the narrative and redraw the main characters. We want to see an outdoor community that is representative of our vibrant community at large. So, we’re here to break down barriers and create bridges between cultures. While barriers look different for everyone, 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 welcome 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!
