A core goal at Trips4Trade is contributing to the R3 initiative. We do this by breaking down the outdoors entry barriers of access, finances, and knowledge. With our platform, you get to experience new adventures more affordably with an experienced, local mentor or guide.

An example is a father who had a lease for hunting but didn’t renew years ago when finances got tight. He now resides in the city and wants to take his children hunting for the first time but no longer has access to property and lives on a budget. However, he does still have a family lake vacation home and season tickets to a pro-sports team in town. Through Trips4Trade, this father can let someone stay in his vacation home, or use his tickets to one game, in exchange for a hunting trip with an experienced mentor. The kids have been recruited through an unforgettable, first-time hunting experience. The father has now been reactivated with only the affordable expenses of hunting licenses and travel. Lastly, Trips4Trade helps retain them by incentivizing multiple trades each year.
