UTAH'S OUTDOOR INDUSTRY BASE CAMP

Marking Utah on the Map

At the Utah Outdoor Association (UOA), we hold two simple beliefs. First, that there is no better place in the U.S. to explore the outdoors than Utah. And second, that when the outdoor industry works together and supports each other, business is better for everyone.

It’s because of these beliefs that we’re working to bring outdoor product companies and supporting organizations across the state together to solve the unique challenges the industry faces and create a thriving outdoor ecosystem for years to come. In other words, we’re like a base camp for the outdoor industry.

When you join UOA, you’re strengthening our outdoor community to make Utah the place to live out your everyday passions. You’re welcomed to a tribe of passionate and you’re telling the industry that you are Utah.
