Winona Outdoor Collaborative

The Winona Outdoor Collaborative supports approachable and inclusive outdoor experiences for the Winona community through accessible local meetups. 

Our meetups include guided instruction, equipment, and opportunities to build community.  Reducing these barriers will enable folks who previously did not have access to outdoor recreation to participate and see themselves reflected in the community. 

If an equitable, inclusive outdoor recreation community is important to you, support our organization by donating towards our fundraising goal.

Our Mission

The Winona Outdoor Collaborative seeks to promote inclusion and accessibility through community partnerships, environmental stewardship, and educational programming directed at reducing barriers to outdoor recreation.
