Exciting News! Now through September 4th, NEMO will donate a piece of gear to OEN with every fully priced item purchased online. Help us remove the cost barrier associated with gear and enable people to adventure outdoors safely and responsibly!

As winter approaches, the days spent outside have turned to nights spent by campfires surrounded by community. The interactive skills our young people learn at evening campfires are as important as any of the technical outdoor skills that our members teach.

Thank you Hilary for taking OEN around Wasatch Mountain Institute's campgrounds and nature center at Jordanelle State Park. We are looking forward to hearing about all the school overnight trips you are able to host this coming year!

It was great to meet outdoor gear companies at the Big Gear Show in Park City! Thankfully ED Seraph White and OEN member Hilary Lambert had Showers Pass jackets when the storm clouds rolled over the expo!

GCI Outdoor has been a big support for our members this year, providing gear that allows members and their communities to camp in comfort.

Thank you for your support @gcioutdoor!

The southwest has been filled with picturesque clouds that have periodically dumped rain on Executive Director Seraph White and her daughter while they've visited members in Phoenix, Mancos & Leadville, CO, and Villanueva, NM. @showerspass gear has helped them #enjoyallelements!

We are delighted to welcome Atabey Outdoors into the OEN member community! Atabey Outdoors, a Phoenix-based nonprofit, exists to offer safe spaces for BIPOC girls to experience the outdoors with respect, empathy, protection, and celebration.

It was great to come back to Mancos and see the new gear library taking shape! Thank you Ed for showing me around and for your ongoing dedication to making gear accessible in the Colorado Mountains. Only with great gear can we #enjoyallelements!

It was great to connect with so many OEN members while at the C&NN conference last week! The community that is building at Outdoors Empowered Network generates a palpable energy that I know will continue to inspire people around the country.
