PARTICIPATION

We come from different backgrounds; work in different sometimes competing, channels of industry and find different ways to play outside. But we are all outdoorist, working together to expand outdoor access and opportunities.

OUR HISTORY

OIA was founded in 1989 by a group of 14 visionary outdoor industry leaders who created the association to be a unified, collaborative, pre-competitive voice to help guide the industry.
