January 8, 2025

REI Co-op announced it will close its Experiences division that includes adventure travel, day tours, and classes. The decision was announced in an email to employees Wednesday from President and CEO Eric Artz and will mean the elimination of 428 full- and part-time jobs in that division.

Customers who booked trips and day programs will receive full refunds and REI will work to address any associated non-refundable expenses. BRAIN
