"I just love Basecamp. They have all the best gear and an incredibly friendly, helpful team. The shop is large and open, so it's easy to shop and there's a 10/10 guarantee that someone will ask how they can help you. Thank you for being part of Laramie, Basecamp!"

"I live in Arizona and work in a ski shop, but my brother lives in Laramie and got a new ski setup this year meaning I wasn't able to help him get setup and fitted properly. My brother has a disability, and it is often hard to find gear that works with his disability. Base Camp did an incredible job helping him out and getting him set up with the right gear, and even paid to get his boots that he bought there fitted by another shop! I was blown away by how helpful and kind the staff at Base Camp is. It's rare to see staff that cares as much as the people here do. Great people and a great shop!"

Alec and Jodi purchased Basecamp in April of 2022. Their vision is to bring outdoor recreation to everyone, regardless of experience. Sharing their love of community and outdoor spaces has been the hallmark of their professional lives. Along with their son, Rowan, they enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle. When not working, the Sheas, and their dogs Zimbleman and Badger, can be found doing something fun outside. Here they are pictured climbing Grand Teton, back in July 2022.

I am Luis Caturelli from Argentina. I worked there for many years helping amateur mountaineers to chase their dreams in different mountains of Argentina and Chile. I met Katie, my partner, 5 years ago and that is why I am in this beautiful state with so many adventures to offer. More than loving the mountains, I love helping others to experience adventure and bring them closer to nature.
