All Forward offers curated custom outdoor experiences in Northeast Ohio that make a lasting impact on individuals, groups and communities while discovering a new appreciation for our world.

What We Believe

We believe in intentional engagement. We believe in epic moments. We believe in moving forward.  When individuals thrive, organizations thrive and communities thrive. Just as a small pebble tossed in water has a ripple effect across the surface, we have an impact on and are impacted by the people and experiences we encounter and connect with.

Growth through Experience

We believe thoughtfully curated outdoor experiences impact everyone involved – socially, environmentally and economically. They create an environment for reflection, courage, curiosity and growth. They enable people to move and rest, learn and grow, refuel and give. They enable us to reconnect with and appreciate the land and those who came before us to respect, preserve and steward the environment. It is in these moments that people, organizations and the community all move forward with a connection with nature. 

Our Mission

To curate unique and transformative outdoor experiences along the Ohio & Erie Canalway Towpath that connect and move people, organizations and the local community forward.

What is Epic?

Epic might mean climbing a literal mountain — or it might mean tackling a figurative one. Challenges are unique to each person, and everyone’s path is different. But they all require us to set aside fear, doubt, pain or the voices in our heads that prevent us from letting go. 

Embracing Possibilities

Challenge is hard. Change is hard. Growing is hard. Giving is hard. Moving forward is hard.

It is in these moments that we need to look at things differently, embrace possibility, believe in ourselves and trust others. Nature teaches us that moving forward is part of life. Being outdoors gives us a renewed perspective that enables us to see, learn, grow and connect. A path and reassuring hand give us the confidence to take each epic step forward.

Take the First Step

With each step, we stretch, take risks and try new adventures. We build skills, trust and engagement. The more obstacles we overcome, the stronger and bolder we become. We just need the courage and willingness to take the first epic step. That’s when we impact our lives and others, our organizations and community.
