Supporting Community Events Since 2007

Throughout the year we run and support many community events. From fun runs to adventure races to film festivals, and the best part…
they all give back!

Established in 2007, we have proudly supported the youth in our community through our outdoor recreation programming and by founding the Youth Outdoor Recreation Society (YORS), a nonprofit that aims at getting kids outside.

Hoodoo Adventures and YORS believe everyone deserves to experience the transformative power of nature.

Our initiatives have enabled local kids to spend more than 250,000 combined hours outdoors. Furthermore, our economic impact on the region through our sport tourism efforts has been analyzed in the millions of dollars each year.

We hope your company will help us in our goal to assist in a healthier tomorrow for our community and region.
