If getting outdoors more was one of your 2026 resolutions, a special market in Oakley this weekend can help you find new-to-you gear to get you on the trails or in the water this year.
Adventure Crew, a local nonprofit that helps connect Greater Cincinnati teens with nature and each other, is hosting the Gear Sale and Donation Day at MadTree Brewing from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The nonprofit says it’s a sustainable and affordable way to prepare for your upcoming outdoor adventures, with gently used items like paddle crafts, bikes, hiking equipment, outdoor apparel and more for sale.
If you have gently used gear you’d like to sell at the event, you can sign up to be a seller for free here. Registration must be completed in order to sell your gear, and signups close on Jan. 20, or when space is filled.
Adventure Crew is also accepting gear donations for its teens or for resale. The nonprofit says it needs these items the most:
- Snow pants (child size L, XL; adult sizes S-XXXL)
- Winter coats (child size L, XL; adult sizes S-XXXL)
- Backpacking stoves
- Hiking boots (any size)
- Tennis shoes (any size)
- Backpacking sleeping bags (lightweight, packs down small, 20 degrees)
- Sleeping pads (not inflated by mouth)
For resale, the nonprofit is also accepting larger items like kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and bikes. Sales of donated gear will help support Adventure Crew’s mission to get city teens outside in nature.
If you’re interested in donating, but can’t attend the sale, you can contact sam@adventurecrew.org to arrange a drop-off.
