Together, we can build a community grounded in connection, resilience, and shared experience—one trail, paddle, or campfire at a time. Get Lost – Nature-Based Wellness & Support is powered by people who care. We rely on community involvement to keep our outdoor wellness programs accessible, inclusive, and meaningful.

There are many ways you can help us make a difference:

​

Donate Outdoor Gear

Have unused gear gathering dust? Pass it on!
We gratefully accept gently used outdoor equipment—like tents, backpacks, boots, sleeping bags, and camping gear.

• All donated gear is cleaned and repaired as needed.

• Items are either used directly in our wellness programs or sold at our partner shop, The Great North Thrift Store, with 100% of profits funding our services.

• Every donation helps us reach more people in need of support through nature.

 

Volunteer Your Time

We’re building a strong team of facilitators and guides who believe in the healing power of nature. We’re especially looking for volunteers with professional or lived experience in:

• Mental health and addiction support

• Counselling and peer recovery programs

• Trauma-informed care

• Outdoor activity leadership

If you're passionate about helping others and love the outdoors, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Land Access & Activity Support

Do you own private land, cabins, or scenic trails? We’re always looking for peaceful, private spaces to host hikes, gatherings, and wellness activities. Safe, tranquil spaces make a big difference in our participants’ comfort and experience.

Are you a business owner or gear operator? You can also support by:

• Offering equipment use (boats, horses, snowmobiles, ATVs, etc.)

• Providing discounts or passes for tours, experiences, or ski hills

• Donating time or access to support meaningful outdoor moments

 

Professional Services & General Support

We’re growing, and we could use a village. If you have skills and time to give, consider helping us with:

• Website development & branding

• Grant writing & fundraising

• Legal aid, governance, and risk management

• Capital investment & funding partnerships

Even small contributions can go a long way toward expanding our reach and impact.

 

Be Part of the Movement

Whether you’re donating gear, sharing land, offering your skills, or simply spreading the word—you’re part of something powerful. Together, we can offer people in the Okanagan a way to heal, grow, and belong—through nature, not stigma.
