SAM's thirteenth Summer Ops Camp—an immersive, hands-on educational and networking event—is heading to Steamboat, Colo., Sept. 10-12, 2023. This year’s camp curriculum will offer attendees a spectacular mountain environment and engaging activities. We’ll explore the positive effects of community connections, four seasons of activities and employment, and sustainable practices for both business and the environment. Together we will learn how to plan for a strong future of year-round business. We will also be giving away a great glamping set-up with EJH Distribution. Learn more about that, here.

"Every time I attend Summer Ops Camp, it is well worth it. I get inspired and motivated by other resorts' operations. In return, I get to bring back meaningful ideas to help grow my operation and a couple good stories as well. Camp gives us the opportunity to connect with each other and grow our community of summer operators. These takeaways from camp are priceless."

-Tish Lopez, Director of Tram, Lifts and Gates Operations, Snowbird

"Learning from shared experiences with your colleagues, away from our home resort, was incredibly impactful. The program at the Tremblant Summer Ops Camp was so striking that I brought our leadership team back to the location a few months later."

Brian Norton, President & GM, Loon Mountain, NH

"I never miss SAM's Summer Ops Camp. It is invaluable for looking ahead and identifying the 'what’s next,' and exploring all aspects of maintaining a sustainable summer operation. The camaraderie, hands-on format, and 'experience it like a guest' programming are great for capturing many 'aha!' moments. Anyone in the business of summer should go to Camp!”
