Still feeling inspired after a weekend of incredible gatherings with partners, alumni, and leaders across the outdoors.

Last year at Outside Days, we opened the door to a conversation about digital wellness and getting youth off screens as we geared up for The Reset 2026. This year, we had the opportunity to widen that door by highlighting how partnerships have helped us multiply our digital wellness impact and strengthen our movement. It confirmed for us our potential within a larger ecosystem — and how, when we connect across sectors and build bridges across media, brands, and organizations, we strengthen our collective ability to support our youth and reach beyond the communities we serve.

Special shoutout to Robin Thurston at Outside Magazine for creating this successful gathering space for the conversations and joy our industry craves and needs.

This is what collective momentum looks like.

As the industry looks to grow the next generation outdoors, the opportunity is clear: work together to make participation possible, and durable, for more young people.

Long-term collaborations between brands and community organizations can remove barriers, build belonging, and create lasting connections to the outdoors. This past weekend, our conversation at Outside Magazine Industry Conference Summit explored what that looks like in practice: aligning investment with community leadership, supporting programs that reflect real needs, and building models that sustain engagement over time.

Thank you Outside Inc for inviting our CEO Ginger Naylor to participate in such a needed and inspired conversation. We learned invaluable lessons from our peers, and are returning home excited to continue to build on the potential of partnerships.

Limits tested. Fears faced. Breakthroughs made.

Each year, Morehead-Cain Scholars leave behind what is familiar: campus routines, city noise, certainty itself, and step into the wild.

The collaboration between Morehead-Cain Foundation and Outward Bound is fueling growth, grit, and real‑world impact—showing what’s possible when organizations team up to shape the next generation of changemakers.
