Topic

Resilience Outdoor Conference is about decolonizing outdoor education for People of Color & the LGBTQ communities. 

Resilience Outdoor Conference is a reimagining of what an outdoor conference could look like and a unique way it could serve the community. It is hands-on, in the wild and lead by community leaders in the outdoor industry.  Resilience is a two part conference.

We strive to provide support that is centered around our community and fosters a meaningful foundation for diversity.  

It is an investment in community knowledge expansion in outdoor education that supports growth today and tomorrow.
