EP #47: Color in the Outdoors with Christopher Kilgour

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.
