I highly recommend Bearcub Outfitters. Not only was my online order delivered quickly, it was also packaged very nicely. I will happily support independent retails who put such care into their products. Thank you Bearcub!

A Bearcub Beginning

27 Years of Getting Families Outside

BJ Shawn fell in love with Northern Michigan and the outdoors, opening Bearcub Outfitters in 1998 to help families get outside. Her daughter, Becky, soon joined, and together they built a community-focused store. Bearcub Outfitters supports sustainable brands, local organizations, and the arts, continuing BJ’s legacy of environmental and community stewardship.
