Here At Outdoor Adventures

We Care.

Outdoor Adventures cares about people: our communities, families, and employees. 

We want to support family stability by providing greater access to basic needs so families can thrive emotionally and focus on more quality time together. We also believe having access to special outdoor experiences enhances family connections and that everyone should have access regardless of ability, income, etc. 

Every effort will be made to identify opportunities with the greatest perceived impact of families in our communities. Please read the requirements and criteria for support below before submitting a request for a sponsorship, charitable contribution or community service request. We appreciate your time to help us address requests in a fair, equitable, and timely manner.

To see how our team is making an impact in our communities, check out our annual community impact reports below.

  1. Supporting more access to basic family needs to minimize stress caused by adversity and enable parents to focus more on quality time with their family. Basic family needs we support include, but are evaluated based on individual community needs:
    • Food Scarcity
    • Financial Stability
    • Clothing
    • Shelter/Housing
  2. Providing access to a special camping vacation for all, regardless of ability, income, etc.
