Outdoor Kids ® was inspired by a mom's quest to find warm, comfortable and reasonably priced winter socks for her baby daughter. After searching high and low without success, the mom worked into the wee hours of the night drafting the Outdoor Kids ® business plan. Her hope was to create a company that made quality kids clothing and equipment easily available to families -- and make life a bit easier for busy moms and dads like herself. Thus, in January of 1997, Outdoor Kids ® was born. Jenny, our founder, ran Outdoor Kids ® out of her home for several years. The inventory steadily grew as more colors and sizes were added. Busy moms and dads began asking her to carry adult clothing. And our customers' small children grew into teenagers and needed teen-sized clothing. Eventually, the house was overrun by UV suits, snow boots, ski bibs and sunglasses. Outdoor Kids ® had taken on a life of its own... By October of 2005, Outdoor Kids ® had grown so much that it needed a new home. Jenny and her family reclaimed their house, and Outdoor Kids ® opened its first retail shop that month. We've been growing like crazy ever since. Outdoor Kids ® now carries a full line of clothing and shoes for infants through men's XXL. The equipment selection continues to increase each month.
