Welcome to the Fall Gathering!
Mark your calendars! The 2025 Fall Gathering is October 2 - 5!
Sola Gratia. Sola Fide. Solus Christus. Sola Scriptura. Soli Deo Gloria.
“The Central Ohio Outdoors Fall Gathering feels like… home. I’ve attended for at least 4 or 5 years now and it is always a highlight of the year for me. The Fall Gathering is a welcoming place to camp, learn new skills, hang out with old friends, make new friends, and pick up a few pieces of gear from the vendors. Caleb, the organizer, is all about making your experience as smooth as possible.” - Jayberry Miller, Owner & CEO of Tuff Possum Gear

Central Ohio Outdoors is all about families enjoying the outdoors together, but not many places cater directly to the littlest adventurers among us. We’re taking steps to address this with our Little Adventurers Programming! Officially Launching at the 2025 Fall Gathering, the Little Adventurers Programming will be aimed at children who are 5 & younger and will give them opportunities to participate in, and experience the Gathering at a level that they understand. If you have ideas for future programming ideas, or would like to volunteer to be a part of the Little Adventurers area at future events, send us an email at askcentralohiooutdoors@gmail.com and let us know!
