Welcome Spring! Beer & Private Shopping Party at EMS SoHo

Celebrate spring with a private party at EMS Soho. Come see what your favorite trail friends look like with a shower and without a backpack! EMS is generously allowing us to host a private party at their Soho store and better yet, you will get 20% off your purchases. If you have ever had a question on what gear to buy or what adventure to try next, this is your opportunity to talk shop as you will be surrounded by Outdoor Bound guides and fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Free artisanal beer, gear and trip giveaways, DJ and shopping discounts! Proceeds from the party will go to the Asphalt Green Summer Day Camp Scholarship Fund. The scholarship fund allows children from low-income communities to have the opportunity to participate in a seven-week day camp where health, leadership and integrity is taught through sports and an active lifestyle. Additional donations are greatly appreciated! To give more, please select “Extra Charity Donation” option in the registration box. We’re terribly excited to get everyone together and celebrate spring!

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
