Our Story

In 2007 we opened ORCC - Off Road Camping Club, a web base community exploring the Ozarks Midwest Region. Our goal is to get people comfortable with exploring the outdoors.  We offer experience, knowledge and information on camping, canoeing, hiking & backpacking.  ORCC has scheduled events, campouts, day hiking or cycling on many trails, throughout our area.  We offer outdoor photography, orientation, first aid and gear clinics. The more you know about the outdoors, the better experiences you will have on your outings.

In 2008 ORCC teamed up with Bass Pro promoting programs in health, wellness and outdoor adventures.  ORCC’s participation with this program is through our Outdoor Skill Village.  At this event, ORCC Outdoor Skill Village displays products offering everything you would need to be self-efficient, comfortable and connected in the wilderness.

The next several years we continued to build the ORCC community and exploring the Ozarks outdoor with like-minded people.   We believe in the Leave No Trace Behind ideology and the Stream Team was a perfect way for us to give back to the preservation of our streams and nature.  In 2011 ORCC started reaching out through Facebook, to contact as many people as we could, who would be interested in outdoor activities.  This was another avenue for ORCC to promote the outdoor experience by daily updates with new posting, pictures, articles, product information & scheduled events.

In 2012 ORCC, continued to grow with the Outdoor Skill Village promoted through Bass Pro.  We now promote approximately 50 outdoor gear manufacturers, with outdoor displays as large as 27,000 sq. ft. and approximately 10,000 interested people visiting our 2 day events.  ORCC being community conscious, we decide to host a charity event.  Baskets for Kids was born, which has become an annual event.  We collect Easter Baskets, food and personal care items for an organization called Feed My People.  Our goal was to make sure children and their families have a stress free Easter Season.  This annual event has been a great success.  Meanwhile we continued our outdoor outings.  Nothing relieves stress, better than nature and all her wonderful offerings.

2017 - ORCCGEAR.com Online Store is still in its infancy, however we continue to thrive. We have learned so much in the past four years. Building an online store is an everyday update. Adding new product, additional product information, and checking pricing and availability / stock / inventory of products we offer. We make sure that the product you are considering to buy, has as much information about that product. Our main goal is to provide, "Quality Gear for the Outdoor Enthusiasts". However, our everyday goal is to provide the best customer service, we can offer to our customers. We make ourselves available to our customers as easy as possible.
