About Our Group:
The Tulsa Outdoor Explorers is a community for anyone who loves getting outside, discovering new places, and connecting with nature (and each other!)

Whether you're an experienced adventurer or just looking to dip your toes into the outdoors, you'll find a welcoming group of people who enjoy exploring, staying active, and having fun. Our events range from relaxed weekend outings to more challenging excursions, so there's always something for every skill level and interest.
Join us to discover new trails, share great conversations around the campfire, paddle peaceful waters, or simply enjoy fresh air with like-minded explorers. Let’s get outside, make new friends, and experience the natural beauty around Tulsa together!
