Outdoor Recreation Industry Partnership
The Outdoor Recreation Industry Partnership (ORIP) is an interagency collaboration between Explore Minnesota (EMN), the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), and Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation (IRRR).
The Partnership was formed in the spring of 2023 as a direct result of recommendations made by both the Minnesota Outdoor Recreation Task Force and the Governor’s Council on Economic Expansion.
2026 Outdoor Industry Summit
This year's summit will be held Sept. 24 at the Hyland Hills Chalet in Bloomington, Minnesota.
