Community Meetups

Building Community while connecting with nature

Social media is a powerful tool, but it was never meant to replace real connection. This community exists because doing life together out in the wild, with people who genuinely love the natural world, is something worth showing up for. ​Every first Friday of the month we meet somewhere worth being. Free to attend, family friendly, and open to anyone who feels that same pull toward the outdoors. We alternate each month between hiking and paddling to keep things fresh, and when an outing is more physically demanding I will always give you a heads up in the details ahead of time. ​Have questions? Find me on Instagram. I am always happy to connect.​ Thanks so much for being here and I'm stoked to see you at our next meetup!
