The Best Gifts for Outdoorsy Kids

As outdoors-lovers, we spend a lot of time exploring, observing and just plain savoring time in Mother Nature's wild spaces. As caretakers and parents (or devoted/honorary aunts and uncles), we do our best to pass on that same love—whether it's a passion for biking, camping or enjoying a little trail time—to the young people in our lives. This collection of snuggly, sporty and even safety-conscious gear like helmets (don't worry, they're kid-approved) will support your quest to raise little adventurers.REI Adventure TripAll the gear on this list provides a chance to make a memory—watching your little ride their bike without training wheels for the first time or witnessing them discover a new-to-them flower on a trail. To create more opportunities for memory-making, consider taking your family on an REI Adventure trip. Or, if you're an aunt, uncle or family friend, give an REI gift card that your recipient can spend toward the adventure. Family-friendly trips include guided treks in Shenandoah National Park, Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains and more. The best part: These multi-day excursions require very little prep and planning from attendees (aka busy parents).Shop All Gifts for KidsNeed more inspiration?
