Hey Leapers It's Niecy B. Here to fill you guys in on my fun filled visit to R.E.I (Recreational Equipment Incorporated) !
R.E.I was a very fun, and interesting field trip for me, mainly because I'd never heard of it before and because I never really knew about a store being environmentally friendly before this one, sure recently I've heard of many more, but R.E.I was the first for me.
We started out our day at R.E.I with a tour. The tour was pretty informative, and it taught me a lot of different things about the manufacturers of the clothes they sell, and I also found out that R.E.I is sort of like a thrift store they buy and sell used clothing, but the clothing they buy and sell is alot more expensive then the average thrift store would buy annd sell, because of its quality it lasts really long. Did you know that R.E.I designed there own clothing, and they've won awards for it? I also found out while visiting R.E.I that they are a non-profit organization everything that they do is just out of the kindness of there hearts.
After our tour at R.E.I they gave the rest of the leapers and I a fun activity since R.E.I sells equipment for hiking, camping, overnight visits in the woods etc. They split the LEAP Crew into two groups, gave us a bag, and told us to walk around the store, and pick five things that would we would need to survive on a hiking trip in the woods for a month. I went with my group, and we chose our five things. The five things we chose were as follows: a tent, knife, water filter, walkie talkies, and a first aid kit. Soon after the other group got finished with picking there necessities we met at the front of the store to find out if picked the right things. It turned out both groups did a awesome job.
Overall my experience with R.E.I was wonderful I got to learn about a store I didn't know existed, found out alot about the environment, and how R.E.I contributes to our environment, and now I know what to bring with me on a camping trip!
