Home - Get Outside and Live Idaho
GOAL
GOAL stands for Get Outside and Live. It is a 501c3 public non-profit organization.
The primary mission of GOAL is to promote health and wellness through meaningful programs including, but not limited to, engaging in educational outdoor activities that foster a deeper connection with nature as well as positive, social connection.
GOAL's vision includes organizing and executing year-round activities to provide opportunities to get outside, enjoy some physical activity, and give people the opportunity to connect and build a greater sense of belonging within the Caribou County community.
From backyard parks to mountaintop views, we help Idahoans discover the joy, health, and community found outdoors. Our programs make it easy to try new activities, learn safe skills, and give back to the places that make Idaho home.
Upcoming Events
2026 Winter Challenge January 17 - March 14, 2026.
GOAL is saddened by the tragedy that occurred on March 8th at Alexander Reservoir, and join our community in mourning the loss of life. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family, and all those who responded. In light of this heartbreaking incident, and to honor all involved, we have decided to cancel our polar plunge event planned for Saturday, March 14.
