It’s a bittersweet moment. We’re filled with gratitude as we reflect on the journey—decades of outfitting adventurers, sharing trail stories, and being part of so many memorable outdoor experiences across this beautiful province.
To our loyal customers, dedicated team members, and community partners: thank you. Your support, passion, and spirit have meant the world to us. Though the stores may be closed, the memories—and the adventures they inspired—will live on.
Here’s to the path ahead. Keep exploring.

Please note that our West Edmonton and Calgary store hours have been permanently reduced:
• Monday-Saturday | 10am-6pm
• Sunday & Holidays | 11am-5pm
You can still shop online 24/7 until June 30 at 🌎
This small—yet mighty—location opened in 2008, becoming the third physical store for Breathe Outdoors (or rather Campers Village back then). Nestled between Gateway Blvd and Calgary Trail, South was our second store to open in Edmonton, and was a hub for our legendary Ladies Night and VIP Beer & Gear events. This store was much more than a retail location; the people it employed, and the customers who shopped there, became integral to our entire company’s culture. Those who have attended an after-hours event at the store know what we’re talking about! It was a community.
Spearheading store operations is our one and only, talented Store Manager, Dana Soper. With contagious energy and a keen focus to create an inclusive community between her staff, Dana expertly led her team through COVID-19, our company rebrand, and ultimately her store’s closure. Dana had a knack for hiring and fostering growth within her team. They were an incredibly knowledgeable and driven group of outdoor enthusiasts and we’re proud to have called them our colleagues.
With our deepest gratitude, thank you to our staff, leadership team, and every customer from South Edmonton who enabled us to create the community that we have today. We appreciate every dog that came in for training sessions after their PetSmart visits. We appreciate every event that went way too long because we were having a good time. We appreciate and will hold these memories with us for years to come.
Onward & forward,
The Breathe Outdoors Team

👉 What we’ve got is what we’ve got—that means we’re unable to accommodate rainchecks, transfers, or special orders. Once we’re sold out of an item it’s gone for good, so we recommend shopping early for the best selection.
👉 Inventory is as up to date as possible on our website, so please check online first to see if your item is in-stock online or at your preferred store.
👉 Our staffing is limited on all levels; please be patient and respectful while we do our best to provide great service with limited resources! Customer service inquiries, order picking and shipping, and in-store assistance may be delayed while we process a high volume of sales.
💙Lastly, thank you, from all of us here at Breathe Outdoors. We’re grateful for your ongoing support of our local business as we wind down operations. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to come say hi (or goodbye, rather), please choose to support us this weekend for our final Friends & Family sale.
“As the owner of Breathe Outdoors, I cannot begin to tell you how heart wrenching this decision has been. To tell 70+ people they no longer have jobs is devastating.
Our mission at Breathe Outdoors has always been to try and improve the quality of people’s lives by helping them engage in the outdoors. The outdoors, with its sights, sounds and scents is a source of peace and wonder, particularly when shared with others.
Thank you to our customers for your patronage and giving our passion a purpose. Thank you to all of those who have posted your wonderful comments, although bittersweet, they provide some comfort.
I have always been extremely proud of our staff—comments of praise about them has been a constant source of gratification, over the years.
Happy trails from the backyard to the backcountry.
With sincere appreciation,
Ron Bryant.”
Did you ever shop at Breathe Outdoors/Campers Village?
It is with a mix of gratitude and heavy hearts that we share some news with you today. After 62 years of serving Alberta’s outdoor community, Breathe Outdoors (formerly Campers Village) will be winding down its business operations later this year. Ownership has made this difficult decision, closing the chapter on what has been a truly remarkable journey as a locally owned & operated outdoor retailer in Alberta.
It is clear that with the downturn in the economy, with the challenges faced by the retail industry and the outdoor industry specifically, it is unsustainable for Breathe Outdoors to continue.
This decision is in no way a reflection of the dedication, talent, and hard work of the Breathe Outdoors team. We are incredibly proud of our employees, who have put their hearts into making this business what it is today. General Manager Doug Dea and a dedicated team will remain in place throughout the transition to ensure we continue serving you as smoothly as possible in the coming months.
Our commitment to our community extends beyond retail, as demonstrated by our partnership with Easter Seals Camp Horizon through the Twoonies for Tents program, which has raised over $120,000 to support outdoor experiences for those with disabilities. We have also sincerely enjoyed hosting customer adventures, planning educational events, and building connections with our local community.
As this transition will be a gradual wind down and not a rapid liquidation closure, your support for our local Alberta company is more important than ever. You will still have the opportunity to shop in-store and online during this process. We will continue to share updates through our website and e-newsletter, so stay connected.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey with us. Whether you’ve been with us since the early days or just recently discovered our store, we are so grateful for your support. We hope you continue to explore, seek adventure, and find joy in the great outdoors.
Wishing you many happy trails ahead,
Doug Dea, General Manager
Ron and Terry Bryant, Owners
