About
Dayton Outdoor Recreation Retailers Association is a group of locally-owned, independent outdoor specialty retailers. We all began our businesses because of the passion we have for the outdoor activities we participate in. Our passion includes helping others learn more about these activities, so they may share in the enjoyment of the outdoors.
As a group of locally-owned independent specialty retailers, we carry a comprehensive array of products and services for outdoor enthusiasts– runners, cyclists, climbers, backpackers & hikers, kayak & canoe paddlers, snowboarders and skiers. Our stores and facilities have become destination points in the Miami Valley region and beyond.
Our Mission
Our goals and mission are very simple. We are very passionate about what we do and these five points sum up what we want to achieve:
• Promote local outdoor events and activities
• Promote the benefits of participating in outdoor pursuits
• Work together with other local organizations and clubs
• Promote locally-owned independent outdoor specialty shops collectively
• Promote each other as the experts in our field
