WHAT WE DO

OUT There Adventures (OTA) builds community for LGBTQ individuals through adventures outside. 

#getOUTthere #NothingStraightAboutNature

We had a great time with @repjayapal last week on a queer history walking tour in Pioneer Square! Preserving and protecting the stories of those who certain histories try to erase is necessary and critical work. Thank you again to the Congresswoman for taking the time to share space and celebrate Seattle’s diverse queer history! #nothingstraightaboutnature #getoutthere
From sea to shining sea we’ve been getting our Qlimb on all month long with our friends at @earthtreks and @planetgranite. But the fun doesn’t have to stop there! Tag OTA and #nothingstraightaboutnature during of your summer adventures! #getoutthere
CHECK IT OUT! @govofco rocking our latest OTA hats! #getoutthere
GREAT photo captured by @latinooutdoors of a meeting our Founder had with Gov. Polis of Colorado. As the first openly gay governor and our increasing connections to the queer outdoor community in Colorado we are elated he took the time to speak with Elyse, and others doing amazing outdoor equity work (@jaylyn.gough @browngirlsclimb @teresabaker11 @josebilingue). Coming soon a photo of the Gov. rocking an OTA hat! #getoutthere #nothingstraightaboutnature
And they’re off! First OTA and @nwoutwardbound LGBTQ Teen collaboration headed OUT today for a handful of days rafting on the Deschutes and then few days of service in Portland. Stay tuned for our Queer Qlimbing day at @planetgranitepdx to round out the course next week! #getoutthere #nothingstraightaboutnature
Our queer outdoorsy hearts can barely handle ALL of the UH-MAZING stuff going on this month! If you’re in the Bay don’t forget to add hanging OUT with our pals at @planetgranitesanfrancisco to your Pride festivities! #nothingstraightaboutnature #getoutthere
If you plan on joining us for the LGBTQ Group hike tomorrow please bring lots of water and snacks for enjoying this beautiful view! We will be departing from Arroyo Park trail head around 10:20. #getoutthere #nothingstraightaboutnature
All across the country for the whole month of June we’ll be getting OUT there with El Cap climbing gyms. We hope you’ll join us! #getoutthere #nothingstraightaboutnature
A few spots are still available on our NWOBS collab course! Raft the Deschutes and then hang OUT in PDX for Pride! #getoutthere #nothingstraightaboutnature
Thanks to our friends at REI and North Face we have some sweet gear to raffle off at the Group Hike! For more details and registration find us on Eventbrite! #getoutthere
Mark your calendars! June second is a perfect chance to get OUT there!! Join us for a group hike up Raptor Ridge. Stay tuned for more details. #getoutthere #nothingstraightaboutnature
Big thanks to everyone involved in our Vital Qlimb night! #getoutthere #nothingstraightaboutnature
HUGE thanks again to all who came OUT last week to celebrate Earth Gay 2019! We rounded out #nationalparksweek by spreading mulch, clearing brush and having maybe a little too much fun disposing of some old tires. Shot out to all of our great partners @npcapics @patagoniaseattle @wecct and to our host @colmanpark! Can’t wait to see you all across the country in June for our #getOUTthere Pride events! #getOUTthere #nothingstraightaboutnature #earthgay
Join us on Saturday for an evening of qlimbing! From 5:00-9:00pm VITAL Gym in Bellingham is offering a $12 climbing pass to anyone with a student ID. #getoutthere
None of this work is possible without support, and thus far this year’s #Spark2020 supporters include this rockstar lineup! Huge thanks to @merrell @coloradooutdoorrec @thisisrange and @hyattregencydenver for their support! If you’d like to support this or future Spark 2020’s email Elyse at elyse@outthereadventures.org.
We’re at it again! Join @nativewomenswilderness @jaylyn.gough @josebilingue @goulding_jr and OTA @elyserylander for the second edition of Spark 2020 at OR SM! The Spark 2020 Leadership Retreat will bring together stakeholders of the Outdoor JEDI community to connect, network and share their resources. Providing an intentional space for those engaging in JEDI work creates an incredible opportunity to continue to cultivate a common narrative on collective liberation within the outdoors. Our mission is to connect members of the JEDI community and equip them with the resources and connections necessary to lead ongoing JEDI efforts in a united, supported, and actionable way. Link in bio! Hope see you OUT there! #nothingstraightaboutnature #getOUTthere
As the days get longer and summer grows closer, your opportunities to get OUT there only increase! Visit our website to learn more about these awesome trips! #getoutthere #nothingstraightaboutnature
