In addition to a full schedule of on-hill workshops and classroom seminars on the business aspects of summer operations, campers will also explore the summer activities at Attitash and nearby Cranmore with fellow operators. These facilities showcase features for all ages and include excellent examples of:
- mountain coasters and slides
- summer tubing
- Attitash's water activities, including on-slope water slides and a wading pool
- ziplines
- the ropes courses in Cranmore's aerial adventure park
- a Giant Swing
- mountain biking
- and more...
"Attitash is excited to serve as the official home for SAM Magazine’s Fourth Annual Summer Ops Camp, and to showcase our summer activities,” says John Lowell, Attitash GM. “We look forward to hosting resort operators and suppliers and sharing ideas, best practices and successes.”
Adds Cranmore president Ben Wilcox, “Our expanded summer offerings have really solidified our profitable year-round business model and we are looking forward to sharing some of these ideas with the industry as a whole.”
The camp will be held just prior to the New England Summit, which will also be held at Attitash, from September 17 to 19, to keep the fall trade show schedule as time-efficient as possible.
With the increasing importance of off-season revenue streams, the 2013 Camp promises to be energetic, educational, and hands-on.
