About OTP
Ocean To Peak Adventures (OTP) is an outdoor adventure community created from a simple idea: adventure has the power to transform lives. Since the beginning, we’ve been building a welcoming outdoor community where people from all walks of life come together to explore wild places, hike and climb mountains, travel to new destinations, and create lasting memories. Our name says it all—from the oceans to the highest peaks—we believe every corner of the outdoors holds the potential for connection, personal growth, and exploration.
OTP is free to join! There is no cost to become part of the OTP Community. Whether you’re brand new to outdoor recreation or have years of hiking, climbing, and adventure experience, OTP is a place to learn, explore, and grow together through shared outdoor experiences and a supportive community.
Josh Ochner
Founder and lead of Ocean to Peak Adventures and the OTP Mountain Summit Challenge, Josh Ochner has been at the heart of outdoor adventure community building for more than 15 years. A passionate adventurer and community leader, Josh has dedicated his life to creating spaces where people can discover the outdoors, challenge themselves, and connect on a deeper level.
In 2017, he launched Ocean to Peak Adventures with a simple but powerful mission: to unite people who love the outdoors, travel, and adventure into a thriving, supportive community. Four years later, he introduced the OTP Mountain Summit Challenge, an empowering series designed to inspire participants to climb higher—both on the trail and in life—while forging authentic bonds with others who share the same spirit of exploration.
For Josh, leading Ocean To Peak Adventures is a calling. His days are spent leading Day Events and Adventure Trips, teaching outdoor skills, and empowering the OTP community. His creativity fuels every corner of OTP: from organizing event logistics to guiding trips, brainstorming ideas, building the website, shaping travel experiences, and more.
Beyond his leadership, Josh is an adventurer through and through. His pursuits include mountain climbing (for over 24 years), backpacking, paddleboarding, snowshoeing, and all things outdoors. These passions not only fuel his own life but also infuse every OTP experience with authenticity, energy, and purpose.
