Projects and Programs
Thrive Outside
Instilling a love and respect for outdoor recreation has the potential to inspire entire communities and be passed down through generations. River City Outdoors aims to connect, network, organize, and impact the lives and health of our community to change the culture of the St. Louis region using multiple touchpoints and an array of opportunities for people to engage with nature.
Gear Lending Library
Our Gear Lending Library lends outdoor gear to St. Louis regional organizations and individuals that take children, families, and groups on outdoor trips. Through collaboration with our partners, we aim to increase equitable access to outdoor recreation in the St. Louis region by providing outdoor gear free of charge.
The Gear Lending Library is for those who want to try outdoor gear without the commitment of making a purchase, and making a reservation is easy!
