The REI Outdoor School – Los Angeles leads outdoor programs in the greater Los Angeles area. We teach in-store classes as well as lead field outings for REI customers out of the seven Los Angeles area stores: Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, Northridge, Arcadia and Rancho Cucamonga. Class topics and outing activities will include: Rock Climbing, Sea Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Road Cycling, Hiking, Natural History, Outdoor Photography and Navigation Outings for both Map & Compass and GPS.

At REI, we love to get outside and play, and we know first-hand the importance of quality outdoor gear. We stand behind all our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we design our own line of award-winning REI brand gear and clothing. Whether you’re new to outdoor adventure or a seasoned pro, we gladly share our enthusiasm for our products—and the trails, slopes and waterways where we play.

Each year, REI donates millions of dollars to support conservation efforts nationwide, and sends scores of volunteers to build trails, clean up beaches, and teach outdoor ethics to kids. Through responsible business practices, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint.

What began as a group of 23 mountain climbing buddies is now the nation’s largest consumer cooperative with more than 2.8 million members. But no matter how large we grow, our roots remain firmly planted in the outdoors. Our passion for outdoor adventure is clear, whether you walk into one of our 80-plus stores, phone us, or visit the REI website.

By staying true to our roots, we’ve earned a place on FORTUNE magazine’s list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For” every year since the rankings began in 1998. We work hard to earn our reputation for quality and integrity every day. Our commitment remains the same as when we started out in 1938: to inspire, educate and outfit for a lifetime of outdoor adventure.
