Our Mission: Getting You Outside

Wilderness Inquiry’s mission is to connect people from all walks of life to the natural world through shared outdoor adventures. Through the medium of outdoor adventure travel, we inspire personal growth, enhanced awareness of the environment and community integration. Our adventures encourage people to open themselves to new possibilities and opportunities.

In addition to our many great adventures for adults, we facilitate opportunities for urban youth, individuals with disabilities, and other nontraditional users of public lands and waterways via programs such as Canoemobile, Gateway to Adventure, and Outdoor Career Academy. Since 1978, we’ve directly served more than half a million individuals. Our programs facilitate fundamental changes in perceptions and beliefs, breaking down barriers between people.

At Wilderness Inquiry, we believe that everyone belongs. We work to ensure this belief holds true in our workplace, in our community, and in the outdoors.

Wilderness Inquiry prohibits discrimination against any participant, applicant, volunteer, intern, or employee on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, age, disability, marital or military status, political affiliation, genetic information, or any other protected class under law.

Wilderness Inquiry is an equal opportunity employer.

dangling wheelchair Erin Broadbent. The trip included a day of rappelling down a sheer rock face along the river. Erin's eyes lit up with excitement. Greg Lais describes the scene, "I was standing in the river at the base of the cliff, watching these two wheelchair rims edge their way over the cliff. Erin was cool as a cucumber, started rolling her way down the sheer cliff face when I took the picture. A moment later, her wheel caught in a crack of rock and she flipped sideways. I looked up at her and asked if she was nervous. She responded, 'Nah, I already broke my neck once, this is no big deal.'" Peering at Erin over the cliff, the crowd above burst into applause as Erin freed herself and made her way down the cliff. After Erin, everyone in the group enthusiastically rappelled down the cliff.
