The Chaffee Mobile Gear Library, a project of GARNA, is committed to improving access to the outdoors for everybody. GARNA is partnering with a coalition of local organizations and the nationally based Outdoors Empowered Network to help outfit youth and adults for outdoor based programming in Chaffee County. The Chaffee Mobile Gear Library is more than just a gear lending program, it is an inclusive and empowering outdoor community. CMGL strives to support disinvested communities, uplift BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, and foster programming that centers around community, skill building, and outdoor empowerment. 

By offering a diverse range of outdoor equipment, CMGL aims to break down barriers and ensure that everyone, regardless of background or experience, has the opportunity to engage with nature and discover the transformative power of the outdoors. We believe in the importance of representation, equity, and inclusivity, and actively work to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.
