"We are the people - women, men, young people and retirees, families, professionals and students, hunters and anglers, sportsmen, executives, homemakers - with one thing in common: a desire to make a difference for our environment and our children's future. WMEAC has been West Michigan's leading voice for environmental protection since 1968."

Apex Outdoor Gear was formed because of a fortune cookie (true story). Their purpose is to offer the alternative to a normal gear shop. We don't want to sell you some equipment and say "thanks, bye". We want to be a part of your outdoor experience and for you to be a part of our store.
