Why Use a Gear Library?
Borrow what you need without having to buy, store or maintain everything yourself.
TRY IT FIRST
Try camping, backpacking or new outdoor activities without buying all the gear upfront.
SKIP THE STORAGE
Use quality gear when you need it, then return it when your trip is over.
BUY LESS + REDUCE WASTE
Sharing gear keeps good equipment in use and reduces unnecessary purchases.
Our Gear Library helps keep quality gear in use while making outdoor adventures easier to access.
Pricing + Access
Individuals + Families
Our listed prices are suggested community rates. Contribute the listed amount, contribute more to support the Gear Library, or contribute less if needed.
Groups & Organizations
Group pricing and discounts vary based on group size, gear needs, trip length and program type. Schools, cities, nonprofits and other organizations can request a group quote.
Grant-funded programs should include Gear Library costs in their program budget. Pickup + returns are by appointment only in Azusa.

More Camping 101, backpacking, hiking and outdoor skills trainings will be added to our calendar soon.
