Outside Chance

How the organization Blacks In Nature is building community in the great outdoors.

Blacks In Nature is a thriving community dedicated to reconnecting Black people with the outdoors through adventure, education, and cultural exploration. Since its founding in 2022, the group has organized hiking excursions, water sports, international trips, and youth programs — ensuring that Black individuals and families feel welcomed and empowered in outdoor spaces. 

From launching Soulful Swimmers — the first adult Black novice swim team — to hosting camping workshops for kids, Blacks In Nature is breaking barriers and redefining what it means to engage with nature. These events have fostered camaraderie, confidence, and a deep appreciation for the natural world, creating lasting memories and valuable skills for members. 

The efforts by Blacks In Nature also extend beyond recreation; we’re building a movement that promotes healing and wellness. 

In 2025, Blacks In Nature will expand its reach, with even more opportunities to explore, learn, and grow. Upcoming adventures include an international trip to Belize, more skill-building workshops, and unique outdoor events designed to help members thrive outdoors. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or just starting your journey, Blacks In Nature is a gateway to new experiences and a supportive community. Members gain access to exclusive trips, expert-led training, and a network of like-minded nature lovers. Visit www.blacksinnature.com to sign up and start your journey today.
