When we met this summer Stio Home Team, we knew they loved being outside as much as we do—but we had no idea how powerfully their stories would drive us to seek bigger goals and deeper connections.
You can keep up with the Home Team all season by following @stio on Instagram.
“The outdoors is my entire community. Whether it’s an intense day or a mellow day, I love inviting others to participate.”
“Whether I’m learning or teaching, I can build. Build new friendships, build confidence in that place, but most importantly build a stronger connection to the outdoors.”
“You don’t need to do something epic every time you get outside—just getting outside is enough!”
“I share the outdoors with others in hopes of inspiring someone else to get outside in a way that is meaningful, accessible, sustainable and empowering for them.”
“People become their best selves in the outdoors, and that breaks down walls between us."
“As a father, one of my biggest goals is to raise children who have a passion for both enjoying and protecting wild places. As they’ve grown, I’ve witnessed their reverence for wild places and the environment come to fruition.”
“Some the strongest connections in my life have been made from the shared passion of the outdoors.”
“Being outdoors has helped me build a community who loves to adventure in the outdoors, but who’s also conscious of our actions as humans and our impact on the world.”
