Sober Outdoors Reviews 6

Sober Outdoors is my favorite group! I love being outside nature, I love sobriety and I love the people that come together in this space! The events are simple, epic and filled with smiles. This group makes you feel welcomed no matter what! If you are looking for an amazing community to support your growth. . . This is it!!! Thank you SO for all you do, I truly appreciate you!

I’ve been to a few Sober Outdoors events and they’ve all been really good. The hikes are well put together and the overnight trip I went on was smooth from start to finish. Everything feels organized but not uptight. You just show up, they’ve got it handled, and you enjoy it. The staff is a big reason why it works. Seamus keeps things moving without being pushy, Nick is super welcoming and makes everyone feel like they belong, and Walter is solid and knows his stuff. You can tell they actually care about the group and put in effort. That’s not always the case with outdoor groups in Denver. This one feels real and not like a business trying to sell you something. I’ll keep going to more events for sure.

SO has been vital to my personal recovery, providing both motivation and belonging through my favorite venue... nature.

The organizers and members alike have all been welcoming. Everyone is unique in their journey, and I've come to really appreciate that. Their stories all relatable and inspiring. I was fortunate enough to participate in 5 events at this point, and will continue to do so!

For some positive feedback, I'd just like more events on the calendar. I would like to even see some opportunities to meet and hang out, even if they aren't official.

This company is a scam!! Stay far away!

I strongly advise against booking any events with this company. I registered for an event at the Animal Wildlife Sanctuary and paid $63: $50 (which would have been the actual price of the ticket at the place) plus a hidden $13 he added on to the fee including a required donation you had to make to Sober Outdoors before you could even check out! I drove an hour only to arrive and discover that no reservation had been made. The sanctuary staff had no record of any ticket purchases from the organizer, Nick (the owner), and even expressed concern that this may be part of an ongoing scam, which they are now investigating further.

I’ve made multiple attempts over the past three weeks to contact Sober Outdoors for a refund, but my emails and messages have been completely ignored. I later learned that another participant had a nearly identical experience at a climbing event—they paid $88, showed up, and again, no one was there and no reservation existed.

This company appears to be collecting funds directly through their website without actually securing tickets or organizing legitimate events. I find this deeply unethical, particularly as they seem to be targeting members of the sober community. Please be cautious and share this warning with others to prevent further harm.

I can’t say enough about the impact this nonprofit has had on my life and the lives of so many others in the sober community. Their unique approach—blending outdoor adventure with meaningful community connection—creates a space where people can heal, grow, and rediscover themselves.

From group hikes and camping trips to volunteer projects and skill-building workshops, every experience fosters a deep sense of belonging. There’s something truly powerful about being in nature with others who understand the journey of sobriety. The support, encouragement, and friendships formed here are unlike anything I’ve found elsewhere.

Whether you’re newly sober or years into recovery, this organization provides a safe, uplifting environment to connect with yourself, others, and the great outdoors. I highly recommend getting involved—you won’t regret it.

Sober Outdoors is an engaged and active community that provides a much-needed space for those in addiction recovery. The leaders genuinely care, creating memorable experiences and meaningful conversations that foster real connections. Their free events bring people together, helping to build strong bonds while offering support through their app and other recovery resources. This organization is a vital support system for anyone seeking a healthier, sober lifestyle with a like-minded community.
