The Bronze Chapter

🦈 The water’s warm and sharks are cool! Join us for an hour after work to dip into the world of these ocean guardians with Marine biologist and award-winning photographer Jillian Morris-Brake! 🌊

Jillian will be our guest for a free Virtual Travel Journal from sunny Bimini, Bahamas, on June 4th at 6pm PDT.

We’ll talk about shark conservation, shark science, false and harmful stereotypes, and answer questions like Do Great Hammerhead sharks use their heads like hammers? Do Lemon sharks smell like lemons? What does shark p**p look like? And more! 👀

Bring your dinner, your questions, and for sure bring the kids. You don’t want to miss this. Link in bio for the Zoom.

This is going to be a fun and exciting hour 🤗

Friends, get outdoors more this season without getting lost! Sign up before 9pm Thursday April 30th.

Come solo or with an outdoor bestie and invest some time Saturday May 2 with us. We'll help you over the hardest part of learning to use a map and compass: the just getting started part.

This is a playful, hands-on approach to way finding that's rarely offered in a BIPOC-centering space.

We'll float through the basics for foundation and do some fun navigation exercises together.

We guarantee you'll leave less anxious, more confident, and a greater asset to those you hike, camp, backpack, bicycle, and paddle with.

Introduction to the Mighty Map and Clever Compass - The Bronze Chapter Visiting wilderness spaces is a beautiful, grounding way to connect with the natural world, but it also requires deep respect […]

Wondering About Backpacking? Join Us for Wednesday Wonder Walks Starting May 20. We'll Be at Discovery Park South Parking Lot Conditioning Our Bodies, Sharing Knowledge, and Building Community Through Evening Walks May Through September. Meeting at 5:30pm for a 1.5 to 2 Hour Walk. Casual Pace, No Experience Needed. Free to Attend and Park. Sign Up Link in Bio.

We're looking for YOU! 🌲
