Upcoming Special Events
The listed events may be re-scheduled due to the COVID-19 situation.
Each year, the Fun, Fit & Over Fifty Club sponsors many special events that take place locally, in the Northwest, and around the world. We place newly-identified trips on the Weekly Update a couple of times and then transfer the information here. We keep that information posted here until the event happens.
RV Trips
All trips are being planned to comply with area COVID-19 rules and the limitations in place at the selected camping facility. Group planned activities will use our guidelines for outdoor activities.
As you are making reservations, please contact the trip leader so they know who is planning to attend and can coordinate with the RV Park if there are any questions by the RV park.
You don’t have to have an RV to have fun with the RV/Camping group! Although, we stay in state and city parks and RV resorts/campgrounds, most events are in places where members without RV's can stay in cabins, hotels/motels or B&B's. We have several couples and individuals who take advantage of the fun by staying close by the park in other accommodations. If you like walking, hiking, bicycling, kayaking/canoeing, fishing, and group tours of interesting places in the area, come join us.
