About Us

Our Mission

What is more amazing than helping children achieve their dreams?

The mission of Outdoor Dreams is to make deserving children’s time in the outdoors a form of therapy, all while being an experience they will never forget. We do this by granting once-in-a-lifetime hunting, fishing and backcountry experiences to deserving youth. On a larger scale, Outdoor Dreams seeks to strengthen the heritage of hunting and related outdoor communities with the fulfillment of our mission.

Our primary focus is children 21 years old or younger who have (or recovered from) a life-threatening illness, or come from financially disenfranchised households and are in need of mentoring and positive influence.
