Chicago Outdoor Collective

Chicago Outdoor Collective began with a simple idea: to create something different.

In a city that moves fast, we saw the need for a space where people could slow down, connect, and experience Chicago from a new perspective.

What started as a vision quickly became something more a growing community built around movement, presence, and shared moments on the water.

The vision behind the Collective

Chicago Outdoor Collective was built under the vision and leadership of Jaimar and Maria driven by the belief that experiences can bring people closer in meaningful ways.

With a shared passion for community, outdoor spaces, and creating something with purpose, they set out to build more than a business.

They created a Collective.

Their vision continues to shape every experience from the way people are welcomed, to the way moments are shared on the water.

The People Who Make it Happen

Behind every experience is a team that cares deeply about what this represents.

From guides on the water to the people preparing each detail behind the scenes, everyone plays a role in creating an environment that feels safe, natural, and connected.

Because what we offer isn’t just an activity t’s how people experience it.
