Soul Trak Outdoors at Outdoor Retailer Online


If you have read any of my past articles, you will know I am a big supporter of environment organizations, outdoor brands and local community organizations the foster and promote protecting the environment and helping the under served community when it comes to getting into the great outdoors. Well Soul Trak Outdoors (STO) is one of those community based 501 (C)(3) organizations. Here is their mission statement "Our mission is to build diverse cohorts of outdoor leaders, forge inclusive outdoor spaces, facilitate stronger outdoor communities for underrepresented groups and use outdoor adventure as a catalyst for creating new stewards of public lands."  

STO was founded in 2018 by Tyrhee Moore. He is an accomplished mountaineer. He was a member of the first African American Team to climb Denali (Mt. McKinley) in  2015. A video was made of the climb. Click HERE to see the short movie trailer.  His second assent of Denali happened in 2017. Tyrhee Moore has climbed Grand Teton, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Aconcagua. Here is a link to a Nat Geo article on the 1st African American Denali Assent. It is a great read. Click HERE.


STO offers youth, college and adult programs. Each program is designed to build skills, knowledge, abilities, confidence and leadership in mastering many of the different outdoor activities like hiking, camping, cycling, kayaking, and rock climbing. 

At a time in America where under-represented communities are under extreme pressure from outside forces, Soul Trak Outdoors is a very bright spotlight focusing on helping your people and adults reach their potential. Mastering the great outdoors is a great way to build that confidence. So if you are a supporter of this great outdoor program click HERE to make a donation. If you are in the DC area and are looking for an outdoor adventure, please visit the Soul Trak Outdoor website to sign up for one of their outdoor adventures. 

Until next time, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.
