Our Partners
We have supported over 50 different entities in building their own programs outside.
What we aren’t.
- We’re not a camp.You can’t sign up individually. There are no sessions. We don’t charge enrollment fees.
- We’re not a curriculum.Every program reflects your mission and work. We can bring relevant material, but we’ll never impose it.
- We’re not an agenda.The only “right” way to get outside is safely. The rest is up to you.
- We’re not a transportation vendor.Transportation is part of a broader suite of services. We don’t offer it in isolation.
- We’re not a guide service.We don’t package or advertise specific routes or sites on public lands. You tell us where to go (we can recommend based on your goals).
