Rooted is a space for slowing down, getting curious, and reconnecting with the experiences that make time outside meaningful. Gather at the Rooted Stage for conversations and storytelling, roll up your sleeves in the Rooted Workshop for hands-on sessions, or pull up a seat at the Campfire Circle for community gatherings. Along the way, explore immersive art installations, outdoor gear demos at REI Camp Co-op, and activations from brands helping more people enjoy life outside.

Ultimate Basecamp is built for adventure, discovery, and the gear, skills, and experiences that help us get farther outside. Hop into a Jeep with a professional driver at Camp Jeep and take on a custom off-road course. Catch emerging artists on the music stage. Head to the workshop area for presentations from elite athletes and explorers alongside hands-on skills sessions throughout the weekend. Along the way, explore cycling and snowsports activations, interactive experiences, and outdoor brands showcasing new ways to play outside.
