It’s Great Out There 2024 Grant Recipient, Mikkelin Latu Receives Extra Support from Sea to Summit for their Sleep Outdoors Night 2024 Event

The It’s Great Out There Coalition (IGOT) is pleased to announce that outdoor brand, Sea to Summit will be partnering with Mikkelin Latu, the 2024 IGOT Grant Recipient, for their upcoming Sleep Outdoors Night event in Finland.

In addition to the It’s Great Out There 2024 grant, Sea to Summit will provide 10 down sleeping bags, self-inflating mats, pillows, and financial support, highlighting their commitment to outdoor activities.

Earlier this year, Mikkelin Latu was awarded a grant from It´s Great Out There to enrich outdoor experiences for participants. IGOT is supporting eight grassroots initiatives with €32,000, providing outdoor adventures to communities in Montenegro, France, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Germany, Finland, and the UK, encompassing over 1,195 planned Outdoor Activity Days this year alone.

“We can only make a difference by leading the way. That’s why the delivery of Outdoor Activity Days, actual days of physical activity in nature, is at the heart of Coalition activities to achieve our mission to get Europe active outdoors,” said Margo de Lange, Secretary General of IGOT.

Mikkelin Latu, a local branch of Suomen Latu, aims to celebrate Finnish Nature Day in August 2024 by offering immersive outdoor experiences, particularly targeting refugee and immigrant families. The event will be hosted near the Mikkelin Latu clubhouse, providing a welcoming environment for participants to experience Nordic outdoor culture.

IGOT hopes to inspire other brands to join in supporting great projects like these, furthering the impact of outdoor activities across Europe.
