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
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.

Multi-day Camping/Cabining/Hiking/Kayaking Trip September 7-11, 2020 in the Mt. St. Helens Area.
This year our summer camping/hiking/kayaking/etc. trip will be in the area around the southern portion of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Lodging is TBD but likely around Cougar WA or in campgrounds on one of the two public utility reservoirs in the area (Swift Reservoir or Yale Lake). Hikes are TBD but will include hikes in the southern park of the monument, a ranger lead visit to Ape Cave, and other hikes in the area. Kayaking is planned on the reservoirs, Merrill Lake, or possibly the Lewis River between the reservoirs. Hikers wanting to climb the south face of Mt. St. Helens will need to obtain a permit. These are limited and are quickly taken. Check at https://www.mshinstitute.org/ for more information about when the permits are available online (usually late March). Contact Herb McGilton at chmcg98846@gmail.com or 509-439-0284 to sign up for this trip or to obtain additional information. Early sign up is requested since we will need to negotiate and reserve group lodging.
