EP #47: Color in the Outdoors with Christopher Kilgour
Show Notes

On this episode of Active Allyship…it’s more than a #hashtag! The ladies chat with Christopher Kilgour, founder of Color In The Outdoors, an outdoors DEI activity and advocacy organization.  His organization is focused on creating opportunities for people who either have never spent time outdoors, but didn’t have a good experience in the process OR who consider themselves avid lovers of the outdoor world and want to continue to expand their experiences and skillsets.


Christopher Kilgour was marinated in all things outdoors… being in the outdoors is a part of his core.  Recentering and fine tuning is second nature.  He grew up in Wisconsin, in a family of educators… learning about the land… learning how everything is intertwined and interconnected.


He started Color In The Outdoors around 20 years ago, he was lucky enough to grow up very close to parks and was immersed in the outdoor world. 


The conversation is layered, access and cost may be issues that prevent folks from participating in the outdoor world.  What’s clear is… there are levels to this… the Great Outdoors is expansive and can be experienced in many ways.  Common threads and themes for why people don’t participate in the outdoor world are also discussed.  Let’s just set the record straight… it is not a white thing.
