With the completion of the fabulous summer of 2025 Events it's time to start thinking about 2026 Multi-day Events! Campsite reservations often need to be made a year in advance and thus.......
Following is a survey link as well as dates and zoom links for two engaging meetings to get the kayak rolling (figuratively - at least at the zoom meetings.)
Yes! I have ideas for 2026 Multiday Events!!
In order to make our zoom meetings interactive and efficient, it's helpful to complete this brief survey by Sept 20th.
Survey
Take this survey...
No, I don't have ideas of where to go but I'd still like to participate!
No worries, there are questions for you too - what is important for you to include in OOPS events, how you can assist with an event..... So go ahead and fill out as much of the survey as you can! And join in the zoom calls listed below.
Tuesday Sept 23, 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm - An interactive brainstorming meeting on possible locations and also information on what it takes to staff an event (Event Manager, Trips Admiral and Assistant Event Manager/Concierge roles). "Did you know Ginger? Volunteer staff attend the event for free!"
Zoom Link will be sent closer to the event
Then on Wednesday, October 22nd, 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm - We'll bring back our research on the possible locations to determine the specific where, when and who for 4-5 events.
Looking forward to meeting with you whether you are a brand new paddler or someone who has led a hundred trips.
