Event Schedule
We've built our event schedule to allow you, the attendee, to decide on how busy or relaxed you want to be. During the day we have activities going on both in camp as well as outside of camp with group excursions booked through local tour companies throughout the Copper River Basin. Then every evening there is always a Happy Hour at 4pm and an evening campfire at 7pm to mix and mingle with your fellow Ralliers. We also purposely leave time in-between activities for you to have meals at your RV if we are not having a group meal together. There is something for everyone even if its just sitting around your own campsite enjoying the day.
Our schedule is continually adjusting as we continue to plan for the Rally. Times and activities are subject to change at any time. Be sure to check back often.
