About Wenatchee Outdoors

Wenatchee Outdoors is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization striving to be the trusted hub connecting our outdoor community to information, outings, events, advocacy and each other. The organization focuses on creating and promoting educational guide content, developing a community of outdoor enthusiasts of all types, and, in 2023, advocating for the preservation of the Stemilt Basin Winter Recreation Area for non-motorized winter use.

MISSION:

Inspire, guide, and connect our outdoor community.

VISION:

Be the trusted hub connecting our outdoor community to information, outings, events, advocacy and each other.

Wenatchee Outdoors’ primary goals fall into the three categories:

Education

With over 700 guidebook posts with filters based on ability-level, family-friendly, dog-friendly, accessibility and location, WenOut guidebooks save you time in your search for that perfect outdoor experience in and around the Greater Wenatchee Valley.

Advocacy

Each year Wenatchee Outdoors determines where our advocacy efforts will be directed for the year. In 2023 our focus is expanding and protecting parts of the Stemilt Basin for non-motorized, winter recreation. This includes collaboration with Stemilt Basin land managers and users.

Community

In addition to connecting residents and visitors to the Wenatchee Valley area with the great outdoors, we also connect them to each other. Member (& Friend) meetups on the 1st Wednesday of each month and an upcoming section of the website devoted to facilitating member-facilitated outings and adventures are part of how WenOut is striving to build a strong sense of community with our friends and neighbors!
