We’re celebrating Out Living It Day on Saturday, July 25! This special day of Out Living It celebrates our belief in the ongoing healing power of adventure and connecting with community. For the past three years, we’ve celebrated Out Living It Day by getting outside together — and this year is extra special as we celebrate 25 years of First Descents!
Celebrate by joining a Community Adventure near you!

The 3rd Annual MinneBall will also include a raffle, silent auction, mystery boxes, hat contest, and as always a few surprises!
