Child Inclusive Workplace

The Yosemite Basecamp is a socially and environmentally sustainable outfitter that prioritizes brands committed to environmental protection, inclusivity and accessibility, including Patagonia, Teva, and Fish Pond. 

 

We also recognize the Nature Gap and work everyday to expand access to the outdoors.  We are redefining the traditional outfitter experience by building a more inclusive outdoor community and hiring individuals from historically marginalized and underserved groups, including LGBTQ and BIPOC communities, neurodivergent and autistic individuals as well as the aging and those with disabilities.

 

We collaborate with a collective of like-minded local adventure companies on commission and fee- free basis to expand access to outdoor recreation, support small businesses, and foster a resilient outdoor ecosystem in Groveland, CA and the greater Yosemite region.
