About Outdoors with Griff

A family-run Shoal Lake basecamp business built around comfort, honest hospitality, and real outdoor credibility.

Outdoors with Griff is based in Shoal Lake, Manitoba, and is built around the idea that outdoor experiences should feel both real and welcoming. Brett serves as Founder and Outdoor Experience Specialist, bringing practical field knowledge, guiding background, and a grounded approach to helping guests enjoy the outdoors with more confidence and less guesswork.

Shoal Lake is Andrea’s hometown, and Brett and Andrea have lived in their current home there since 2000. That local connection shapes the experience in a meaningful way. Guests are not stepping into a generic tourism product. They are working with people who know the place, care about how it is represented, and want the experience to feel personal, comfortable, and worth repeating.

Andrea is also part of the family-run story through merch and build support, helping keep the brand practical, warm, and rooted in real life.

Credibility

Outdoors with Griff brings together guiding credibility, family-run hospitality, and a premium regional basecamp feel. Brett’s background includes hunting and fishing guide work, subcontract guiding support, real field experience, safety-minded decision-making, and the kind of local perspective that helps guests feel better prepared from the start.
