About Network Outdoors
We have found great success building strong bonds and trust with others who also enjoy living life close to the land or waterways. Business relationships take time, but it’s amazing what happens just by spending a few days, or even a few hours, together on a fishing trip, sharing stories around a campfire, a good long hike, or crossing a field looking for fowl.
Network Outdoors is more than just a group of business professionals or business owners from different industries looking to pass cards and swap 30-second commercials. Our members share experiences, grow businesses, promote outdoor activities, and give back to those organizations who work tirelessly serving our land, water, and habitats.
Membership is made up of outdoor enthusiasts, outfitters, guides, corporations, and pro-field staff. Each local chapter hosts one recurring monthly meeting and also organizes various local events for its members to connect while spending time outdoors. Our team of pro-field staff works with top guiding services and outfitters to organize larger annual trips around the country.
Whether we are connecting members with other members, or hosting your team’s corporate outing, our network is here to create the ultimate outdoor experience.
It’s magical what the outdoors does for us as individuals. Imagine what it could do for your business!
