Mission, Vision and Values

The LGBTQ Outdoor Summit exists to center queer and trans voices, leadership, and joy across the outdoor and environmental movement. We create space for connection, collaboration, and collective action toward a future where everyone belongs outside.

A radically inclusive outdoors rooted in equity, sustainability, and liberation.

  1. Joy as Resistance: Celebration and fun are core to our survival.

  2. Community Power: We believe change comes from the ground up.

  3. Intersectionality: We uplift LGBTQ+ people across race, ability, age, class, and geography.

  4. Access & Equity: We challenge systems of exclusion in outdoor spaces.

  5. Storytelling: We center lived experience and shared narrative as tools for change.
