The Outdoor Lab Foundation was thrilled to be part of the inaugural Outside Festival, an event that brought together the outdoor community in an unprecedented way. Held in Denver's Civic Center Park at the beginning of June, the festival drew over 18,000 attendees, including outdoor enthusiasts and industry leaders.

Our booth became a hub for conversations about outdoor education, transformative camp experiences, and special memories from alumni. These interactions reinforced our purpose and provided valuable insights into how Outdoor Lab is important for our community.

Outdoor Lab's goals and objectives tie in with the mission of the Festival in so many ways. We're committed to access for all to experience the transformative power of the outdoors. We're committed to educating and guiding Colorado's next generation of land stewards, advocates, and leaders so our natural heritage remains the envy of the country. And, we're committed to building strong partnerships with the conservation, recreation, and environmental education community so that our programs remain on the cutting edge.

The success of this event marks a significant step forward for the outdoor community, and we are proud to have been part of this historic moment. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to support the growth and development of outdoor recreation in Colorado through the Outside Festival.
