Country View Motel & RV Resort Campout
The Southwest Chapter of the Explorer RV Club held their first 2026 outing at Country View Motel and RV Park in Reece’s Corners. We had 14 units participate in games, exercise, and shared food.
Our speakers included Lynn McCreary, Deputy Chief of Lambton Emergency Services, who provided an informative session on paramedic services, when to call an ambulance, as well as the equipment in an ambulance and its use.
Our second speaker was Mackenzie Sewell from Small Town Spread, who taught us how to make a successful charcuterie board. Once the board was completed, we were able to snack on the masterpiece.
Our games included card bingo, a Saran ball unwrapping activity, and a match of chair volleyball, where the wind played the biggest role in creating laughter.
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR
Explorer RV Club Newfoundland and Labrador Chapter
Harold W. Duffett Shriners RV Park
Our annual Explorer RV Rally was held June 12–14, 2026, at the Shriners RV Park in Eastport, NL. In spite of the cool, wet weather, we managed to accomplish all our activities and enjoy visiting with friends we haven’t seen for a while.
This year, we had two new couples join the club, and we were delighted to have Gail and Martin Aller-Stead from Ontario with us for the weekend. As usual, we had our meet and greet on Friday evening, followed by a supper meal and some musical entertainment. Saturday lunch brought us together for a bar-b-q of hot dogs and hamburgers. In the afternoon, we played our usual games—horseshoes, ring toss, and cards. We had our cocktail hour, followed by a lovely catered dinner, and then danced to the music of our in-house DJ.
On Sunday morning, we had our gospel hour, and from the collection we received, along with a donation from the club, we made a donation of $300.00 to the Shriners Children’s Transportation Fund. The rally ended with a potluck lunch on Sunday at noon.
We were delighted to have the couple visiting from Ontario and would welcome having more members come to future rallies. Our next rally will be September 11–13, 2026.
