A different kind of climate camp.
Footprints curates shared outdoor experiences that create community, deepen environmental awareness, and nurture compassionate and confident changemakers.
Founded by runners. Grounded in the world.
The Footprints Camp experience pairs dedicated experts with outdoor enthusiasts to create community-centered climate action projects. One week and a lifetime of mentorship.
We’re building a community of grassroots climate action by nurturing an inclusive, uplifting community of mentorship.

The journey so far
We’re reimagining Camp for 2024
Here’s what you can expect:
More than 15 outdoor enthusiasts with varied interests and experiences will join you, alongside expert mentors from across the world. You don’t need to be an expert, you need to be excited.
You’ll arrive to camp with one idea (or maybe ten). We’ll help you create a measurable and collective climate-action project.
Together, we will learn, we will plan, we will create, we will struggle, we will grow, and we will run.
And the friendships you make here are friendships for life.
