Bringing Families Together
Join the movement giving a "voice" to bringing families together through an annual series of live music concerts at campgrounds throughout the United States.
Our aim is to attract new campers by introducing them to the benefits of outdoor activities through the experience, bond and effect it has on the family.
Campgrounds and RV parks traditionally use activities both for kids, and their families, to participate in each day while on vacation. These concerts are providing an opportunity that has never been afforded to the traditional list of activities, and have a greater impact using that twist.
The campground tours use a nationally-recognized performer to excite the kids, and adults alike, which has been highly effective for these experiences. The family members are able to bond over the stories told of their first concert, the opportunity to meet the performer, or even the possibility of jumping on stage.
The movement to bring families together has brought on the support of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC). Teaming up with the leader in outdoor hospitality, and the only national association exclusively representing the interests of private RV parks and campgrounds in the U.S. with 3,100 members to present at the 2014 Convention in Knoxville, TN.
The story of this movement was presented to the CAMP board, and received praise for being the first of it’s kind.
THE CHALLENGES
This truly innovative program has its challenges: the rising costs of show production and fuel, the desire to market these events locally to the press to gain attention, the growing number of staff needed for bigger events, and many others. It has the ability to grow successfully for years to come. Future goals of bringing sponsors and regular donors will afford the ability to bring on more artists with the power to spread across the U.S. We envision a world with stronger families, a greater connection to the outdoors, and a passion to share the power of music.
Be a part of this movement! Help keep families coming together to find the love of music and the great outdoors!
