So grateful to Give Blck for sharing their wealth of knowledge and passion for community to bring awareness to so many Black-founded nonprofits like Backyard Basecamp. #BlackFounded

Keep rising and bringing awareness to the wonderful outdoors to our communities! Onward!

Inspiring, introducing, educating, and connecting people of color to local outdoor spaces.

Backyard Basecamp was founded, and is operated, by Atiya Wells. A pediatric nurse with a passion to introduce, educate, and connect families in Baltimore, especially those of color, to local outdoor spaces.

While learning more about our natural world, she often noticed that she could count the number of BIPOC folks in the room on one hand. Diving into research and history, she learned that ancestral wounding and historical trauma are key players in the lack of diversity in nature-based programming.



She has dedicated her time to slowly introducing BIPOC folks to nature by starting with nature walks in their own neighborhoods, eventually embarking on a journey into the many wild spaces across Baltimore.
