Outbound Thrill AssemblyJoin

outboundthrillassembly

Community in nature. Outbound Thrill Assembly hosts outdoor wellness experiences that build belonging. We create open, people-led programs that make nature feel accessible, meaningful, and alive with possibility.

With a focus on connection — both with others and the land — we reimagine what wellness looks like outside, grounding every event in joy, care, and community.

A community centred on women, built around being outside, trying something different, and feeling like you belong.

Elements of value.

Belonging

Life changing value

We create spaces that feel like you’ve always had a place in them. Rooted in community care and collective energy, every outdoor experience we build invites people to connect, with nature, with others, and with themselves. Whether it’s your first class or your tenth, you’re part of something shared. This is what turns a workshop into a movement, and a moment into meaning.

Empowerment

Life changing value

When nature feels out of reach, we bring it closer. By removing barriers and making outdoor wellness more welcoming, we help people try something new, reconnect with themselves, and show up with confidence. It’s not just about movement. It’s about building trust in your body, your choices, and your community. That’s what creates lasting change.

Access

Functional value

The outdoors shouldn’t feel out of reach. We simplify the logistics, lower the barriers, and open the door to new experiences so people can spend less time considering and more time connecting. By offering a one-stop path to gear, guidance, and group connection, we make it easier to get out there and get started.

Joy

Emotional value

Wellness should feel good. We create experiences that spark curiosity, play, and pride because the outdoors isn’t just where you grow, it’s where you light up. Whether you’re coasting downhill or learning something brand new, it’s not about perfection. It’s about presence, laughter, and that deep, simple joy of doing something for yourself.

Our pillars.

Curiosity creates —Liberated philosophy

Openness creates possibility.

A question, a spark, a sense of more, it all belongs here. And so do you. You don’t have to have the right gear or the right background. Just the desire to try. Outbound Thrill Assembly is a space where together, we cheer on exploration and growth.

Community creates —Shared purpose

Together is the point.

Whether you come solo or with a friend, you won’t stay on the sidelines. Outbound Thrill Assembly experiences are designed to deepen connection with others, with the outdoors, and with yourself. You don’t just leave with a new skill. You leave with more people to share it with.

Wellness creates —Conscious process

Care considers everything.

You see wellness as a way of moving through the world. At Outbound Thrill Assembly, we do too. From how we revere the land to how we mindfully design our offerings, we remove stress and centre what nourishes your body, your schedule, and the planet.

Jubilance creates —Spirited people

Fun is the force.

You’ve got enough to be serious about. Outbound Thrill Assembly creates spaces to let loose, laugh loud, and learn something new without pressure. This is joy that sets you free, opens your shoulders, resets your nervous system, and makes you want to keep coming back.

Our experiences are designed to help you feel at home in the wild, in new conversations, and in your own skin.

We run hikes, workshops, and meetups that feel like an open invite. Like grown-up summer camp, but without the pressure or the performance.

Every experience is a portal of sorts: a chance to find something new in nature, activities, perspectives, or people.

Come as you are. Bring a friend or meet a few.

Find a different rhythm.

Time on the water is a chance to move together, learn something new, and see where a little curiosity can take you.

A new perspective, shared.

Different seasons. Different possibilities. Find the experience that makes you think, “I’ve always wanted to try that.”

A few things you might be wondering before you take the first step.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. Making new connections is part of the idea. Come solo or bring a friend — you don’t need to know anyone before you arrive.

Do I need experience?

You don’t have to call yourself outdoorsy to be curious. Each workshop will explain its experience level and participation requirements so you can choose the right fit.

Who is this for?

Our community is centred on women who want to connect, learn and try new things. Each event will make its intended audience and any age or activity requirements clear.

What do I need to bring?

It depends on the workshop. Each listing will confirm what’s included, what you’ll need to bring, and whether equipment rentals or extra costs apply.

When and where can I join?

Dates, locations, prices, and booking details will be shared with each workshop announcement. Follow the available booking links above, or join the assembly to hear what’s next.
