We believe that anyone can have fun and feel confident and safe in nature. We make an effort to offer opportunities for people of all backgrounds, skill levels, identities, experiences, and abilities. All Kindling Collective trips have an activity level and a group type to help you choose activities and adventures that are right for you.

​

ACTIVITY LEVELS

Activity Level W: Outdoor learning, sitting, and walking on open, mostly even paths and terrain.  0-4 hours/day. 

Activity Level X: Activity with mild elevation gain on uneven terrain. 1-4 hours/day. 

Activity Level Y: Comfort climbing stairs, swimming, and balancing your body weight are helpful skills to have for this level of activity. Activity may include moderate elevation gain on uneven terrain. 3-6 hours/day. 

Activity Level Z: Expect moderate to significant elevation gain on uneven terrain. Participants should be comfortable climbing stairs, carrying weight, and balancing their body weight. 6-8 hours/day.

​

GROUP TYPES

OPEN: Open events are for everyone! Anyone of any identity is welcome.

QUEER: Queer events are designed as an affinity spaces for queer and trans people of all racial identities. If you think you might be queer or trans, you are queer enough. While we love our allies and advocates, if you’re not queer, don’t come to these events.

BIPOC: BIPOC events are for Black, Indigenous, and people of color of all genders and sexualities. If you’re not BIPOC, do not attend these events!
