Why Attend?
The most important reason for you to attend this convention is to learn. You will learn from the educational seminars! You will learn by listening to the outstanding speakers! You will learn the new aspects of our camping business from the campground tour! This convention is an opportunity to visit with those experts, your friends and other industry members, for a free flowing exchange of ideas and vital information that is specifically designed to meet your needs. Your business and the industry will move forward because of your attendance.
Cracker-barrel!
This is your time to discuss anything and everything. The cracker-barrel has become a mainstay at the fall convention. It is your chance to ask a room full of experts in the campground industry your most important questions. Because of the great turnout the cracker-barrel is again scheduled for Monday night.
Campground Tour!
On Tuesday, October 18th we will set out on a bus to tour area campgrounds. There is no better way to learn new ideas than to tour campgrounds and have the opportunity to ask the owners/operators questions about how and why they do things the way they do. This year we will be visiting:
South Haven Family Campground
South Haven Sunny Brook RV Resort
Coloma/St. Joseph KOA
Oak Shores Campground
Seminars!
We have some great seminars for you this fall. Tony Rubleski, Best Selling Author of Mind Capture: How to Awaken Your Entrepreneurial Genius in a Time of Great Economic Change, will be sharing with us about getting and staying ahead in this changing economy.
Paul Sisson of the Department of Environmental Quality DEQ, will begin our day addressing topics which impact each of you in your campgrounds. Bring your questions as Paul will be coming in on Tuesday evening and joining us for dinner.
Hospitality!
The convention is about relaxing, having a good time, making new friends and visiting with friends you haven’t seen in a while. During the convention you will have ample opportunities in an informal atmosphere to share ideas relating to all facets of the campground industry with other campgrounds owners/operators. It’s time to relax after a busy season, share stories and catch up with friends.
