Learn income building strategies for campgrounds in advertising, marketing, and new profit centers. Discover the good and bad news about bank financing.

Why a Two-Day Workshop? Here is what past attendees say: "There was a tremendous amount to cover in 2 days. It will take me 2 weeks to process it all." Phyllis Parker, MI "You need a night to consider questions and things learned; then on the second day ideas are reinforced and questions answered." Jack Weidner, OH "A prospective buyer is contemplating a relatively large dollar investment and major life change. I believe a buyer needs the time to digest the information then have the second day to reinforce it and ask questions." Marsha Lau, NJ
