The primary mission of East Coast Overland Adventures is to provide high quality educational content through in-person training and on various media platforms. Our secondary mission is to provide technical, logistical, and physical support to stewardship projects on public lands in our region.
As of fall 2025 ECOA is in the process of being re-designated from a for-profit LLC into a 501 non-profit. With a focus on training and stewardship we will continue to provide high quality educational opportunities based on a lifetime of experience in the education, outdoor, and offroad industries. We will also provide support to other nonprofit organizations focused on stewardship like Tread Lightly! and the Overland Expo Foundation here on the east coast.
