Getting the Next Generation Back Outside

Find Me Outside was founded on a simple belief: access to active childhood should never be limited by circumstance. At a time when recreational participation is declining and cost keeps too many families on the sidelines, opportunity is no longer guaranteed. We exist to change that.

Find Me Outside creates access to immersive, skill-building outdoor camps where young people build confidence, resilience, and real-world capability. The outdoors isn’t just what we do — it’s how we teach. It’s where effort matters, responsibility is practiced, and confidence is earned.

Our Vision

We envision a future where more kids grow up outside — exploring, learning, building real skills, and gaining confidence through experience. Our goal is simple: increase the number of young people who have access to outdoor adventure, fishing, and hands-on skill-building camps — regardless of their family’s circumstances.

As that number grows, so does the impact. More confident kids. Stronger families. Healthier communities. A generation connected to the outdoors instead of disconnected from it.

More Kids Outside. That’s the Mission.
