Join us for Kindling Collective’s annual fundraiser: Queer  Outside, stories of queer adventure, joy, fear, growth, and discovery in  nature. We'll gather for an evening of stories, community building, and  tasty food and drinks at Oxbow Blending & Bottling on December  17th, 2025.

Kindling Collective is a queer-centered gear library and  education center supporting people in growing and sustaining  relationships with the natural world and each other. Your support  allows us to offer low-cost outdoor events and trips for queer and BIPOC  folks throughout Maine; provide our community access to high-quality  outdoor gear; and adequately compensate our employees and instructors.

Stories told by Danielle Arroyo, Chandler Clothier, Caroline Hadilaksono, Milo Young-Perez, and Christopher Horack.

Be on the lookout for raffle tickets that will available for purchase leading up to the event. We'll post on our instagram and in our newsletter when they're available. Raffle winners will be drawn during the show!
