OUR STORY

To be honest, we felt vaguely ripped off. Disconnected, like we were missing the real deal, the marrowy center. Does that make any sense?

We had an idea just what we were missing because from time to time we stumbled over the alternative — there it was whenever we got out of dodge, put on a backpack or a life jacket, stepped away from screens and pressed our friends to join us outside. There it was when we learned how to do things with our hands and felt the wholesomeness of creating, communicating, and living deliberately, with balance and a deep sense of community.

Onward creates experiences in that space for adults and kids. We invite new friends to connect outdoors, and we have a blast doing it. Interest piqued?
