Join us this fall when the prettiest cyclone you've ever seen brings sparkling bubbles from Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Orange County/Long Beach, Santa Barbara/Venture County, and San Diego. The bubbles will descend full of happy campers ready for a weekend of fellowship, dancing, slippers covered in non-descript gems, a tricky doll that people keep wanting to steal, and the annual meetings that keep us strong (and legal)!

What is the difference between a regular GO campout and a conference campout?
Conference is held once every year in October (as required in the by-laws) where delegates from each of the five chapters and the Corp board come together to:
Nominate and elect a new Corporate Board for the upcoming year.
Vote and amend any by-law changes that may occur.
Schedule and coordinate the next year's camping trips.
Special awards and recognition will be presented.
Who puts on the Conference?
Hosting conference is on a rotational basis by one of the five chapters.
This year is hosted by the San Diego Chapter.
Do I need to attend any of these business meetings?
Only if you are a chapter delegate, a corporate committee chair or Corporate Board member; however, all are welcome to attend.
Can I come to any of these meetings if I am not on the Corp board or a delegate?
Yes! We encourage anyone who is interested in how our organizational leadership works to come and observe our meetings!
What if I am not part of the Corp board or a delegate, can I still attend the conference?
Yes! There will be other planned activities and events to attend..
This is a great opportunity to become acquainted with GO leaders, members, and learn the organization of Great Outdoors.
Can I attend the day activities without camping?
Yes, register for day use only.
Volunteer?
Each Chapter elects or appoints a Board Representative to represent your Chapter at all GO Corp. meetings.
The GO Board also consists of the following appointed committees or positions: Archives, Awards, Bylaws, Outings, Outdoors Experience, and Webmaster
If you are interested in running for one of the three (3) elected positions or serving on one of our Committees, attend the meetings and let us know.
