EXPERIENCES

At the end of the day we remember the experiences we’ve had with others, not the things. Friendships new and old. Impactful moments when we’ve stepped out of our usual routine into something special. Forward Outdoor is here to create memories that stick.

SOCIALS

Forward Outdoor is about building community, and providing events that get us out into the world. Sometimes it’s a relaxed group bike ride that ends in ice cream, an outdoor-themed trivia night at a beer garden, or a clinic on how to navigate with a compass. We mean business when it comes to preparation and safety, but we’re not above a costume-themed cafe crawl on bikes.

FIELD TRIPS

Want to just show up and join a small crew? Each week we put together pre-planned trips with a max of 12 people to go explore something fun within an hour of Milwaukee. We meet at our HQ next to Amorphic Brewing in Riverwest, gear up, then hit the road!  Come alone or bring a friend, everyone is welcome.
