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.

Who Camps With Us?

While our community welcomes all urban families, we take pride in creating culturally relevant experiences where families who have historically been underrepresented in the outdoors feel seen, celebrated, and supported. Currently, 96% of all family trip participations represent BIPOC families.

Our community includes strong representation from Black/African American families (over 60%), Mixed BIPOC families (about 15%), Hispanic/Latino families (nearly 10%), along with Middle Eastern/North African, Asian/Asian American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and White families. This diversity reflects the rich tapestry of urban America while centering those who have been historically underrepresented in outdoor spaces.
