Find Your Path.
“There’s something powerful about staying sober while connecting with nature and others; [gathering your friends and being] part of something fun, empowering, and alcohol-free.”
– Recovery Outside Volunteer
Recovery Outside is on a mission to reconnect individuals in long-term recovery with the outdoors, creating a path to healing that is grounded in nature, community, and personal growth. We believe that the natural world holds unique power to inspire hope, foster resilience, and provide a sense of peace that supports sustainable recovery.
Building a Supportive Community
Community is at the heart of everything we do. Recovery Outside provides a safe, inclusive space where participants can form meaningful relationships with others who share similar journeys.
Encouraging Personal Discovery
Each outdoor activity is carefully planned to encourage personal discovery. As participants step outside their comfort zones and into new environments, they begin to uncover strengths and capabilities they may have lost touch with during their struggles. These moments in nature serve as reminders that healing is possible—and that everyone deserves a second chance.
Accessible Outdoor Experiences
Our programs are specifically designed for people navigating recovery from addiction and mental health challenges. By offering free and low-cost outdoor experiences, we remove barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing the benefits of nature. Whether it's a hike, a camping trip, or simply gathering around a fire, our experiences make room for reflection, connection, and renewal.
Nature as a Catalyst for Recovery
Nature is not just a backdrop for our work; it is an essential part of the process. The sights, sounds, and rhythms of the outdoors offer a grounding force that supports mental clarity and emotional balance. In this setting, people can take a break from the pressures of daily life and reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
Your donation helps build a compassionate community where individuals in long-term recovery from addiction and mental health challenges can find healing and belonging through nature. By supporting free and low-cost outdoor experiences, you’re opening doors to adventure, connection, and hope—empowering people to rediscover their potential in a space of understanding and support.
