Where do I start?

When you walk into your first RV Activities assignment, your first course of action should be scheduling. . .figure out the schedule. . .find a manager, an assistant manager, even one of the guests who return year after year. . .sit down with them and ask. . .what usually goes on. . .what type of activities have you done in the past?

If you are very fortunate, the previous activities director will have left a plan from the previous year for you to follow.  I was not so fortunate in my first assignment. . .however. . .a guest from the previous season told me what they had done, and I went with her plan. . .nothing wrong with that. . .you have to start somewhere.  

Listed below is the weekly schedule that we came up with for our park.  This is only used as an example.  Your circumstances may be totally different, and you should adapt accordingly.  

Saturday - Breakfast Buffet Style - charge per person

Sunday    - Ice Cream Social        - charge per scoop

Monday - Bingo - charge per card - all proceeds go back to the players

Tuesday - Pot Luck - everyone contributes - followed by Poker and Pokeno

Wednesday - Free Night - Activity Center opened for Game night

Thursday - Poker and Pokeno

Friday - Bingo - charge per card - all proceeds go back to the players

Our group would have loved to have Bingo three times per week. . .we chose to only have two nights. . .

This is the very simplified set weekly schedule. . .there were many, many other varied and sundry activities that were planned and scheduled at various other times during the week. . .we will discuss those later.

Please do not hesitate to comment or offer questions and ideas. . .
