Camping Gift Suggestions

At REI Outlet you can shop online (or on the phone) and have your purchase delivered for FREE to the REI store in Conshohocken (on Ridge Pike).

You'll still have to pay sales tax. Most non-Outlet items can be purchased directly from the store, but you should check online or call the store for available stock. REI carries only high-quality products that will last many years. You can also return or exchange anything bought online at the store.

Click either the name of the product or its image to be directed to its website.

If you have any questions, concerns, or recommendations, feel free to email me at pat.smith@bsa98.com (Patrick Smith) and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.

You can also create your own wish list on REI.com. It is free but you have to sign up for it.
