Every child deserves someone to explore with.
Outdoor adventures change lives. We're building a future where every young person—regardless of family structure, income, or circumstance—has access to the confidence, wonder, and resilience that only the outdoors can teach.
The outdoors shouldn't be a privilege. It should be part of childhood.
Today's children spend more time indoors and on screens than any generation before them. The cure is closer than we think.
Access is uneven
Millions of children grow up without consistent access to outdoor experiences.
Guidance is missing
Many parents, guardians, and mentors simply don't know where to start.
Resources are fragmented
Communities have incredible outdoor assets—but they're scattered and hard to reach.
We exist to make sure every child has what adventure gives.
Preparedness isn't the destination. Capability is—the quiet confidence that comes from doing hard things outside, together.
Three ways we get kids outside.
Adventure Access
Helping children and families experience parks, trails, camping, hiking, fishing, and outdoor exploration—no matter their starting point.
Mentorship
Equipping mentors, volunteers, coaches, grandparents, and community organizations with weekly outdoor adventures through Outside.app.
Community
Creating outdoor events, neighborhood adventures, family challenges, and local partnerships that bring people together.
A national campaign with one simple, measurable goal: create 100,000 meaningful outdoor experiences for children who might not otherwise have them.
“We funded 5,000 Adventure Days this year.”
“Our family donated 12 Adventure Days.”
“I led 20 Adventure Days.”
Unlike "raising awareness," it measures the outcome our mission exists to create—and it speaks the same language as the app's core metric, Family Adventure Days Created.
Everyone belongs outside.
Adventure doesn't ask what your family looks like. Neither do we.
Every child, equal access to the wild.
We believe every child deserves the same shot at wonder—and we work to remove the barriers standing in the way.

Barriers we help remove
We're not replacing the organizations doing this work.
We're building tools to help them reach more young people—with weekly outdoor adventures, activity planning, progress tracking, family journals, and capability building, all powered by Outside.app.
The organizations below are doing extraordinary work for kids—outdoors, in activities, and through mentorship. We aspire to partner with groups like these, and we're just getting started. These are not yet formal partnerships—they're the kind of company we hope to keep.
If your community touches kids, there's a place for you.
Schools, churches, HOAs, libraries, parks, cities, utilities, outdoor retailers, and youth organizations all have a role to play in getting the next generation outside.
Outside.app gives your community a turnkey adventure program.
