Through year-round programs in climbing, mountaineering, hiking, rafting, snowshoeing, and outdoor education, we create culturally relevant and bilingual opportunities for families, youth, and individuals. Our leadership development pipeline prepares new guides and educators, while our community events foster belonging and pride. In addition, our BaseCamp Mountaineering Center serves as one of many tools to reinvest in free and affordable programs, but the heart of our mission lives in people, not just places.

An Outdoors for All
A future where Latino families and diverse communities see themselves represented, welcomed, and empowered in every outdoor space.

Community at the Core
As Loco por la Aventura grows, our community grows with us—finding strength in collective experiences and building leaders who carry equity forward.

Education and Leadership
Outdoor education becomes a pathway for personal growth, professional development, and leadership for youth and adults alike.

Sustainable Growth
The organization expands responsibly, balancing financial sustainability, strong partnerships, and mission-driven innovation.

Cultural Stewardship
Honoring language, identity, and heritage while amplifying immigrant and Latino voices in outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship.

We work across Oregon and beyond, collaborating with schools, nonprofits, outdoor brands, funders, and public institutions to reimagine who belongs in the outdoors. Loco por la Aventura is a bridge—connecting cultures, languages, and generations. By leveraging partnerships, growing our team, and engaging volunteers, we ensure that organizational growth translates into expanded access and empowerment for our community.
