JOIN US FOR OUT LIVING IT DAY!

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!

All attendees are hereby notified of the Community Adventure disclaimer. Community Adventures are a simple way to gather your First Descents family and out live it together, but that’s not all First Descents offers. In addition to awesome meetups, we provide life-changing, healing adventures for young adults dealing with cancer, MS and other serious health issues.
