Mission Statement

We are committed to building a network of conservationists through outdoor education ​and recreation.

Our Core Values


Nature Advocacy: There is no us without this planet, so we're committed to restoring and ​protecting it. As people living in the United States, we acknowledge that this land belongs to the ​indigenous people, who still work to protect and advocate for sustainable land management.


Intentionally Inclusive: Everyone is welcome here. We embrace diversity in race, ethnicity, age, ​gender, orientation, identity, ability, and class. The outdoors have a history of being predominantly ​white and male, so we work to make sure the outdoors feels accessible to everyone else. While ​diversity in thoughts and opinions are welcomed, thoughts and opinions that invalidate others lived ​experience are not. We support and prioritize the physical and emotional safety of our participants ​and center respecting their humanity and right to live on their own terms. There will be physical ​limitations, but we're committed to keeping you informed and being as accommodating as we can.


Holistic Prospective: We embrace who/where you come from, who you've been, who you are, and ​who you'll become.


Community Collaboration: Everyone has a place in community. Share or find yours.


Peer Led: There is so much that we can learn in group settings from hearing and sharing with one ​another. This is a community where the students are the teachers.
