Chapters
Chapters offer local events and social opportunities for you to enjoy close to home. Join us at our local luncheons, and travel to a planned chapter RV outing that is within hours from home for RV fun and adventure. The RV outings range from planned visits to area attractions and sporting events, to a holiday get-together that's a family reunion with good food shared with good friends. Whether you attend a luncheon or an RV fun-and-adventure outing, you'll have the opportunity to have your questions answered, share RV tips, and make new friends who RV and live in your area. Nonmember visitors welcome.

Volunteer Opportunities
Like to help others? Escapees can find many ways for you to "lend a hand" even though your community keeps changing as you travel. It may be helping build trails in a national park, giving a helping hand in a local library, hospital, or school, helping with disaster relief or helping build affordable houses for those who lack adequate shelter. Remember, the Escapees philosophy of caring and sharing is a cornerstone of three of our certified BOFs.
