Vision
We envision a world where public lands are spaces of deep belonging, where families across America find healing, build generational connections, and discover collective power through immersive outdoor experiences.
Mission
Outdoorithm Collective transforms access to public lands by creating supportive, culturally relevant camping experiences and community networks that empower urban families to build lasting outdoor traditions.
Our Early Impact
Who Camps With Us?
We welcome all urban families seeking connection to nature and community. We take special pride in creating culturally responsive experiences where everyone feels seen, celebrated, and supported.
BIPOC Families
Our families represent the full spectrum of the BIPOC community—Black/African American, Indigenous, Hispanic/Latino, Asian/Asian American, Middle Eastern/North African, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and Mixed BIPOC families—united in creating space for those historically excluded from outdoor spaces. We also welcome all families who share our values and commitment to equity.

Geographic Focus
Headquartered in Oakland, California, we currently operate throughout California, partnering with public land agencies and community organizations. While developing our model in California's diverse outdoor spaces, we're laying the groundwork for national expansion.
Building a National Movement
We're transforming public lands into spaces of collective belonging—one family, one community, one campground at a time.
Start Local: Group Camping Experiences
We begin with supported camping trips that remove barriers and build confidence. Each trip creates 10-20 new camping families who discover they belong in nature.
Connect Digitally: Membership Community
Families join our app-based community to stay connected, share experiences, and access tools. They find camping buddies, get personalized guidance, and inspire each other.
Grow Organically: Member-Led Expansion
Confident families become leaders, organizing their own trips and inviting friends. Each member brings 3-5 new families into the outdoors, creating exponential growth.
Scale Nationally: A Movement for Belonging
Local chapters emerge organically. Our digital platform connects communities nationwide, creating a powerful voice for inclusive access to public lands.
