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. Programs 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 RECESS or reTREAT for celebrations or company excursions.
