Connecting Urban Families to Nature and Community.

We envision a world where public lands are spaces of deep belonging, where families find healing, build generational connections, and discover collective power through immersive outdoor experiences.

Outdoorithm Collective Group Trips

Outdoorithm Collective leads transformative group camping experiences that reconnect urban families to public lands. We empower our community with outdoor skills while co-creating safe and supportive spaces. Together, we're rewriting the narrative of who belongs in these incredible public spaces.

Guiding Principles

Belonging: We create spaces where diverse identities and traditions flourish on public lands, ensuring every family feels welcomed, valued, and celebrated in nature.

Collective Responsibility: We share equally in creating our outdoor community. Everyone contributes, everyone learns, and everyone leads – working together to build something greater than ourselves.

Transformation: We embrace the power of nature to transform both individuals and communities, creating experiences that build confidence, deepen connections, and inspire lifelong change.

Stewardship: We nurture a lasting commitment to protecting our public lands, ensuring future generations inherit both the natural spaces and the cultural traditions that make them meaningful.

Camper Highlight

I grew up in Alabama, in a city made famous for turning fire hoses on women and children and bombing churches... I have had family members who were lynched and the photos were sent to us and rest in our family photo albums... The thought of sleeping, resting in a place without a locked door seemed impossible.

Outdoorithm has changed that for me and my family. During our first trip, we slept in the tent & I went to sleep to the sound of the ocean. It was the most restorative sleep I have had in years... Now, as I see my daughter climbing trees + running free through the camp with no shoes, I see a child with no fear, only joy. This is the dream each generation has had for their children.
