HOPs
Bring your own RV and join in the fun and adventure as our HOPs
take you to special events such as balloon fiestas, kite festivals, outdoor
adventures, music festivals, NASCAR races, and sporting events. These theme-related
activities take place at unique locations and scenic destinations off the
beaten path. WOW!
"We had a great time at the Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, so
we have signed up for another adventure in the HOP program. Trying something
new with Escapees friends is just the ticket for us!"

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.
Birds of a Feather (BOF) Groups
Escapees has over 50 BOF
groups with members who share special interests such as computers
on the road, biking and hiking, boondockers, boomers, amateur radio, pet
lovers, quilters, crafters, just to name a few! Expand your talents and
share your knowledge. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you are
welcome. Join a BOF! If there isn't a BOF focused on your special interest,
it's easy to start one, and Escapees will help you get the word out.
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.
DOVEs BOF
(Disaster Operations Volunteer-Escapees) members volunteer to help the
American Red Cross whenever and wherever practical.
Escapees Elk BOF.
Our BOF's major project is the Escapees CARE facility. In addition, Elk
members provide scholarship programs, youth activities, veterans support,
and help for the less fortunate through our membership and participation
at our respective local lodges. The BOF is a social group with a common
bond to advance Elkdom through rallies and visiting local lodges while
traveling.
Habitat for Humanity,
Escapees BOF members help build simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership
with those who lack adequate shelter.
