Our Mission
At the heart of this mission is a personal connection to the transformative power of outdoor adventures. I embarked on a trek to Philmont with Scouts in Cimarron, New Mexico, in the summer of 2023. Philmont was more than just a trek—it was a profound journey. Having experienced the positive impacts of hiking and exploration, I came to understand how a lack of gear and financial barriers can prevent many young enthusiasts from accessing these outdoor experiences.
This realization inspired me to create this platform to pay forward the enriching experiences I had. Trekking Thrift was founded in 2023 to make outdoor adventures more accessible. Additionally, we support low-income schools overseas by funding their outdoor adventures.
Join us in fostering a culture of shared experiences, environmental stewardship, and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to embark on their own transformative journey through the beauty of nature.
