Let mother nature bring out the best in you

We're dedicated to getting you outside, active, and grounded. Our mission is to provide creative experiences in the outside world to build a happier, healthier, and stronger community.

 
 

Based in Washington, D.C., we gather, adventure, and connect in D.C., MD, VA, and beyond.

 
 
 

We offer after-school programs for kids in the Winter; and programs for adults throughout the year.

Programs for kids meet locally for a 6–8 week season for a one hour session. OUTings for adults range in length from a couple of hours (RECESS), to a couple of days (reTREAT), to a week (reBOOT). We also offer custom programs for adults. Consider Elements OUTings for celebrations or company excursions.

Summer time is my time to explore amazing trails and art with my own kiddos. #glenstonemuseum #jeffkoons #natureisart
Elements on the Rob Roy trail in Scotland. Donned by one of my fave Elements dads, Josh Weiner - father of Gus who did Elements many moons back. Glad to know the Elements Extreme hats can weather the years. @theelementsdc #outside #active #grounded #robroytrail
