The Pennsylvania Outdoor Recreation Association (PORA) is a member-driven alliance that unites and strengthens the state's diverse outdoor recreation community.
We champion the growth and sustainability of Pennsylvania's outdoor recreation industry through:
Workforce development and connecting job seekers with employers
Fostering a business friendly environment for outdoor recreation businesses across Pennsylvania
Legislative advocacy with a unified voice for the outdoor recreation industry
Sharing risk management and educational resources
Inspiring use of outdoor recreation across Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's outdoor recreation industry generates $19 billion of economic productivity in the state. PORA serves as the unified advocate for experience providers—from ski resorts to whitewater rafting, adventure parks, caves and more, fostering growth, sustainability, and collaboration across the industry.
While Pennsylvania's abundant outdoor resources attract visitors year-round, the businesses that activate those resources face shared challenges: workforce retention, operational costs, regulatory environments, and customer access. PORA unites outdoor recreation providers across the state to address these industry-wide issues collectively, amplifying the voice of individual businesses and creating opportunities for collaboration that strengthen the entire sector.
