Plus Sized Outdoors

The outdoors are for everyone no matter who you are, what you look like, or what your ability is.

For too long we have been fed the image of what being outdoorsy looks like - younger, skinny, straight, white, men. Just because that has been marketed to us, does NOT mean that it is an accurate representation of who IS and CAN be outdoorsy. The definition itself simply states that “outdoorsy” is “of, associated with, or fond of the outdoors.” Do you like being outside? Does being in nature make you feel centered, grounded, or even at peace in nature? Yes? Good… that means you’re outdoorsy. Plus Sized Outdoors was started to create a space where those in marginalized groups felt seen and represented in the outdoors. Spending time in nature can have amazing healing effects that everyone and every body should have the opportunity to experience.
