WELCOME to The Calumet Traveling Sams web site a Chapter of the Good Sam Club
Join A Good Sam Chapter And Join The Fun!
You are surely missing out on a great Club benefit if you are not part of a local Good Sam chapter. Chapters are groups of members who like to camp together; but camping is just part of the fun. The camaraderie and friendships often grow into an extended part of your family.
Many chapters just enjoy spending time with each other at local camp outs or traveling in caravans together. The pleasure most members receive from the various get–togethers is the sense of sharing a common interest, swapping travel adventures and keeping one another posted on the best routes to their RVing destinations.
Community service is another aspect many chapter memberships offer. While having fun, chapters may participate in local civic events and fund raisers, for such organizations as Dogs for the Deaf, Ronald MacDonald House, Special Olympics, and Make a Wish Foundation, just to name a few.
You will find that joining a chapter is not only enjoyable, but another chance for you to use your Good Sam Club membership to its full extent. So join our chapter family and start enjoying more wonderful camping experiences.
Calumet Traveling Sams
If you are not already a member of the Good Sam Club, First you must join the International. You can do this by going on line to www.goodsamclub.com or talking to one of our current members. Once you are a member and have your membership card in hand, you can become a member of a local chapter. Up until the time that you have your Good Sam membership card, you can still camp with us as a guest until you want to become members.
Membership dues in our local chapter are $12.00 per year. This membership is for a camping unit with voting privileges for that unit at chapter meetings. A camping unit is usually a man and a wife, but we also have singles who comprise a unit within our Chapter. We enjoy a camp out on the second weekend of each month from May through October. In April our first camp out is the third weekend of the month because we have our Anniversary Dinner on the second weekend. You are not required to attend all of the camp outs, but your attendance is always appreciated. The camp outs that we schedule are usually within a one hour drive of most of our members.
