Guided hikes, camping, fishing, backpacking, and outdoor education — built with a special focus on historically marginalized and underserved communities, and open to all who share our mission.
WE OUTSIDE GA brings individuals, families, youth, schools, and community groups together on the trail through guided hikes and outdoor experiences designed for a variety of skill levels. From beginner-friendly hikes to more challenging adventures, we help people explore new places, build confidence outdoors, and experience all that Georgia’s trails have to offer.
WE OUTSIDE GA hosts adult and family campouts designed to bring people together and create memorable outdoor experiences. We also bring camping education and hands-on experiences to youth, schools, and community organizations through our programs and partnerships. For select programs, camping gear is available to help make the experience more accessible for first-time campers.
WE OUTSIDE GA offers fishing clinics and community fishing days that give youth, families, and adults the opportunity to learn, practice, and enjoy fishing in a welcoming environment. Through hands-on instruction, participants learn the basics of fishing, build confidence, and spend meaningful time outdoors. Fishing equipment is provided for select programs, making it easier for first-time anglers to get started.
WE OUTSIDE GA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the outdoors more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for all. Through guided adventures, educational programs, resources, volunteerism, and community partnerships, we empower people to explore nature, foster environmental stewardship and conservation, improve their well-being, and strengthen their communities.
We place a special emphasis on serving historically marginalized, underrepresented, and underserved communities while welcoming ALL who support our mission and values.
