Adams County Connect has been in the making for many years, starting as a small idea to host hikes in Adams County to encourage tourism and education in the area. This thought blossomed into a broad, multi faceted idea that will provide opportunities beyond just outdoor experiences.

Funding will be used to launch our three main objectives, which are:

Sharing resources- This begins with booths at farm markets and events in the Cincinnati area, where we will sell goods and wares sourced in Adams county, as well as provide resources for further goods and services available in Adams county.

Facilitating experiences- Curated hikes and campouts that teach on our area's unique and wonderful history. We will also provide opportunities for folks from Adams County outings in Cincinnati, including sporting events, theater performances, and family outings.

Building community- or largest goal is to create a brick and mortar base camp in Adams County. This space would be part community room, cafe, and art gallery. Picture scout meetings, baby showers, community discussions and celebrations, free food days. That's what we're aiming for.

We believe that by implementing these ideals, we'll be able to help encourage community connections in both our rural and urban areas, creating space for exploration, learning, and understanding of each other.
