Giving Back to What Holds Us

It’s a Circle of Care.

Why We Give Back

At The Bronze Chapter, we’ve seen what happens when our community gets the chance to truly connect with the outdoors. When we’re near the water or walking through the trees, our shoulders drop and our breaths slow. It’s a mental reset that doesn’t just stay in the woods—it follows us home to our families and our work.

But we know that this relationship isn’t just about what we take. We protect what we have a relationship with.

By supporting The Bronze Chapter, you aren’t just helping us buy gear or organize trips. You’re helping us reclaim a bond with the natural world that’s been interrupted for too long. You’re making it possible for more of us to show up as our authentic selves—unbothered, skilled, and ready to be the stewards the earth needs us to be.

Where Your Support Goes

We keep things grounded and practical because that’s how confidence is built. Your contribution helps us:

Break Down the Barriers: We provide the right equipment and the right instruction so that “I don’t know how” turns into “I’ve got this.”
Strengthen the Community: We’re creating spaces where we can drop our guard, meet new friends, and find confidence in numbers.
Deepen Our Stewardship: We’re moving from being guests on the land to being its protectors. We’re learning to navigate the trails, leave no trace, and listen to what the natural world is telling us.

Take Your Place in the Circle

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or you’re just starting to rewrite your own narrative, your support makes this community possible. It helps us keep the pathways clear for everyone who’s coming up next.

A Note from Denice

“I’ve spent my life learning that the outdoors is a place to celebrate and find peace. When you give to The Bronze Chapter, you’re helping more of our community find that same feeling—and the pride that comes from knowing how to care for the wild places that sustain us.”
— Denice Rochelle, Founder
