Opt Outside: REI Wants to Get You Outdoors and Off Living on Auto-pilot
We’ve all seen the research; Spending time outside is fundamental to our health and happiness.
So, REI Co-op is encouraging you to do just that– opt to go outside. With their “Opt Outside” mantra, the company is highlighting resources and classes you can take anytime through their planned REI events. And, to really encourage you, the company is making many of its events free on Saturday, June 15th. Their experts will host 300+ free classes and day tours across the country that represent their most popular experiences. They expect about 6,000 people to take part, either hiking, paddling or learning a new activity. Space is limited, so register fast!

These are some of the tours and classes offered:
