Hi-def GoPro camera, $299.95

Even the least outdoorsy person has to hand it to REI. Their Maple Grove store is a mecca for all things related to a wilderness adventure. For those Dads who want to capture every moment, try the Hi-Def GoPro camera ($299.95). This camera sticks to anything and is waterproof, so whether he’s whitewater rafting or hiking in the Boundary Waters, Dad can capture those incredible action shots. But perhaps your Dad is more nocturnal? Try the Black Diamond Spot Headlamp ($39.95). Complete with LED lighting and an adjustable strap. And while it may be getting warmer, we all know how quickly the cold weather creeps up again, so why not set Dad up with a Windbrake jacket ($89.95)? He’ll be happy you prepared him to keep warm from spring into fall. REI, 11581 Fountains Dr.; 763.493.7861; rei.com

Whether your skills at photography are at an advanced level or stop at changing the color filters on Instagram, National Camera Exchange in Maple Grove is there to meet all of your equipment needs and provide you with a wealth of knowledge about photography. Speaking of Instagram, for those Apple product-loving dads, consider a new iPhone or iPad cover, customizable with a photo (of his loving kids, perhaps?) If some of these gift ideas seem a bit out of your budget, then consider something simple yet incredibly useful like a money clip, also customizable with a photo ($14.99).
