SAM Magazine—Tannersville, Pa., Oct. 24, 2014——SAM's sixth annual Summer Ops Camp, a hands-on educational and networking event, will head to Camelback, Pa., Sept. 9-11. The Camp gathers resort managers and operators from around North America to explore opportunities in four-season attractions at one of North America's most successful summer operations.

In addition to a full schedule of on-hill workshops and classroom seminars at Camelback, campers will explore and demo Camelback's broad slate of summer venues and activities: the wildly popular CamelBeach, Camelback Mountain Adventures, and the spectacular, soon-to-open Camelback Lodge and Aquatopia indoor waterpark. These show how important and varied non-traditional winter resort activities can be, and are a must-see in themselves.

And Camelback is ready to put on a show. “Camelback Resort welcomes the opportunity to host the 2015 SAM Summer Ops Camp,” said Camelback GM Charles Blier. “Summer is the next frontier for all winter resorts looking for new ways to cater to their guests' needs. And Summer Ops Camp is the ideal forum where Industry participants can all get together, exchange ideas, meet suppliers, experience new attractions, and continue forging ahead as they implement and invest in new ways to complement experiences at resorts.”

"Camelback will be a great location for Summer Ops Camp,” said Olivia Rowan, SAM co-publisher. “SAM Camps offer the chance to gather with a group of like-minded operators in an intensive hands-on atmosphere. At next year's Summer Ops Camp, attendees will interact on many levels over the course of the three days and leave full of ideas to grow summer revenues."
