WE BELIEVE…
We believe that human-powered outdoor pursuits have the power to connect people to their communities and environment, and foster connections across generations.
We believe actively engaging with community and to the natural world makes us happier and healthier.
The outdoors is a resource every community should be able to leverage to its benefit, and outdoor recreation is a vital part of a community’s strength and overall resilience.
We believe outdoor sports such as skiing, paddling, hiking, and biking provide a platform for individuals to develop the confidence, creativity, self-efficacy, and resilience needed to sustain strong communities and navigate a changing world.
