MISSION

We inspire, connect, and engage Latino communities in the outdoors and embrace cultura y familia as part of the outdoor narrative, ensuring our history, heritage, and leadership are valued and represented.

VISION

A world where all Latino communities enjoy nature as a safe, inclusive, and welcoming place – a world where the outdoors is a place to share and celebrate stories, knowledge, and culture, while growing leadership and an active community of Latino outdoor users, mentors, and stewards.

SOMOS COMUNIDAD

Latino Outdoors is a community first and an organization second. We are a community that strives for an outdoors that is safe and welcoming for all people, regardless of race, creed, nationality, language, gender, sexual orientation, or ability. We are a community that celebrates diverse forms of outdoor engagement. We are a community that believes meaningful outdoor experiences make us stronger, healthier, and happier.

Latino Outdoors provides for a focused conversation on the Latinx experience without being limited to it. Our community’s voices are varied while remaining united in celebrating diversity and declaring it a core tenet of Latino Outdoors.

Important Update on COVID-19

All Latino Outdoors group outings are suspended until further notice. This suspension does not apply to #TogetherApart outings or virtual/online activities, such as those listed below.

For the latest information and guidelines on COVID-19, social distancing, and other safety precautions, visit cdc.gov and your county health office’s coronavirus webpage. These pages are regularly updated and are reliable sources of information. This is a critical time when small decisions can contribute to lasting impact. These measures are necessary to slow the transmission of COVID-19 and minimize overload to our healthcare systems and harm to vulnerable populations. By pausing group gatherings, Latino Outdoors hopes to contribute positively to the ultimate outcome in this uncertain situation.

In addition to the activities offered below, please visit our #StayHome page for a list of free educational resources and activities that you and members of your household can engage in while practicing social distancing.

If you do decide to spend time outdoors on your own or with members of your household, the #RecreateResponsibly guidelines offer a starting point for contributing to an outdoors that is safe and welcoming for everyone.
