63rd Escapade Recap

So, what do over 600 registrations for around 1200 people and countless smiles, jokes and hugs equal? A week spent at the 63rd Escapade of the Escapees RV Club in Rock Springs, WY. What a blast!

Held at the Sweetwater Events Complex, this year’s Escapade was jam-packed with everything an RV enthusiast could dream of—learning, partying, and bonding with fellow road warriors.

This year, we cranked up the pre-event excitement with a brand-new addition: the SNEAK party and Pasta Bake on Saturday night for CARE. The wind might have blown us inside the Activities Pavilion, but it couldn’t blow away the fun!

Early arrivals got to dive into a delicious pasta dinner and mix and mingle with fellow RVers, setting the stage perfectly before the Opening Ceremonies kicked the Escapade into high gear. What a way to start the week! 

Then, on Sunday, Laura and Rob, our super-enthusiastic Escapade Directors, kicked things off with a bang! Their energy was off the charts as they welcomed newbies and veterans alike.

The evenings were all about socializing and having a blast. Daily happy hours, including RV Country’s, The First Timer’s social and more gave us all the opportunity to start the unwinding process in style.

 

 Each night brought a new style of entertainment with FinalEyes Band rocking us back to the 80’s followed by an evening of southern funk with The Williams Brothers. Atlas Falls, right out of Rock Springs, rocked extra-long out under the stars after the Xscaper’s Charcuterie Happy Hour – another Escapade first! 

All the talented members in the club came together to bring the memorable Escapade’s Got Talent to the stage. 

And finally, the week would not be complete with The Big Social featuring The Status Crowes. Imagine celebrating the RV life under a Strawberry Full Moon—pure magic! More dancing, singing, and general revelry made it a night to remember.

The spirit of giving was in full swing. Fundraisers like Morning Donuts and Coffee, Cupcakes Auction, Dip a Chip, SNEAK party and Rubick’s Cubing for CARE brought in serious cash for CARE program.

To the tune of $16,164…. a new event record of $13.80 per person.

Special shout-out to Sophia Cann for collecting Cans for CARE and winning the “You’ve Made a Difference” award. You rock, Sophia!

From RV maintenance hacks to travel tips, the seminars were pure gold. Attendees dove into workshops, expanded their knowledge and got hands-on experience.

The Escapade Market was buzzing, especially with the new Market Door Prize drawings. Lucky winners snagged fuel cards, food truck bucks, and club booth bucks just by swinging by the Market twice daily. 

And let’s not forget the ROW, which was popping in Hospitality, showcasing everything Escapees has to offer throughout the week. 

From yoga to the newly added pickleball courts and continuing to line dancing in the afternoon, the Activities Pavilion was always hopping!

The Xscapers continue to punch up the afternoons with Daily Happy Hours as well as an Escapade first, Charcuterie Board Happy Hour.  

The Sunday Night Xscaper’s After Party moved the dance party outside with rockin’ Rock Springs Silent Disco party.

The 63rd Escapade was more than just an event—it was a celebration of the Escapees RV Club spirit.

Whether you were a first-timer or a seasoned pro, we hope you left with new friends, awesome memories, and a full heart.

We’re already revved up for next year’s Escapade in Tucson. Get ready to fiesta all week long at the Pima County Fairgrounds with new ways to mingle, make memories, and shake your tail feathers.
