At Outside with Recess Village, we understand that the benefits of spending time outdoors extend far beyond just physical activity. We believe that spending time in nature is essential for holistic well-being and can foster a sense of community and connection with the natural world. That's why we offer a wide range of activities, events, programs and services designed to support our adventurers.

THE MAIN EVENT is aimed at connecting Black adventurers with each other while providing a space to feel comfortable and supported in outdoor recreation. The program offers a wide range of access to activities, including hiking, camping, rock climbing, water sports, and more. Excursions encourage participants to practice self-care, taking time to reflect on their experiences and prioritize their own well-being. These activities are organized prioritizing safety and inclusivity, ensuring that all participants can enjoy the outdoors in a welcoming and supportive environment.

ELDER EXPLORERS emphasizes providing a calming and stimulating environment to provide specialized support; and promote mental and physical well-being for senior adventurers, particularly those who experience Alzheimer's and Dementia. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and restorative environments for all of our participants. Our programming is designed to spark the mind and encourage healing interaction, while also providing a safe and comfortable space for elders to enjoy. 

YOUNG WILD & FREE aims to connect youth with nature, adventure and agriculture as it promotes self esteem, a deeper understanding and appreciation for the environment, and our food systems. By participating in these programs and activities youth can develop a sense of responsibility and respect for the natural world. This connection can lead to enhanced mental health, improved creativity, and overall healthier lifestyles; aiming to inspire them to become better stewards of the earth and motivate them to take action towards environmental conservation. 

Fresh AIR (Artists In Residency) is designed to connect artists with the beauty of nature. We aim to provide a platform for artists to explore and immerse themselves in the natural world, inspiring new creative works which can lead to more sustainable art practices. Through Fresh AIR, artists can find inspiration in the natural environment, learn about different ecosystems, and create pieces that reflect their experiences. We also promote environmental awareness and conservation efforts, encouraging artists to use their talents to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our planet.
