A non-profit. A whole-family mission.
WHY BASELINE EXISTS
Service Changes Lives.
Connection Strengthens Families.
Military service shapes how families communicate, adapt, and face challenges. Life after service brings new responsibilities, changing routines, and opportunities to reconnect.
Founded by two Veterans and outdoor educators, Baseline brings spouses, children, and Veterans outside together. Shared experiences create space to listen, work as a team, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.

OUR PROGRAMS · THE BASELINE BLUEPRINT
The Adventure Doesn't End at the Trailhead.
A familiar face at the next gathering. A family to share the trail with. A community you can return to.
The Basecamp Network is designed to keep those relationships growing through monthly gatherings, family friendships, peer connections, and seasonal outdoor experiences. Connection continues long after the gear is packed away.
OUR APPROACH
Purpose in the challenge.
Choice in every step.
Outdoor experiential education, family-centered activities, and trauma-informed principles guide our work. Shared challenges and reflection connect outdoor skills with the way families work together at home.
Families practice listening, making shared decisions, and communicating clearly when the next step isn't obvious.
OUR IMPACT · ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE START
Building Stronger Families.
Measuring What Matters.
Our planned evaluation looks beyond the day outdoors. Families will be invited to reflect before a program, afterward, and at three- and six-month follow-ups.
These are the areas we intend to measure, not claims of proven results. We'll share verified findings as programs progress.
WHAT WE'LL LISTEN FOR
Family Communication
Shared confidence
Resilience & problem-solving
Community belonging
Continued engagement
