ACTIVITIES
During the camping season, chapters normally meet once a month and activities vary. Most chapters camp on week-ends; however, some also camp during the week. Members often share a potluck meal, have a campfire, play games, tour local places of interest, have activities for children and grandchildren or just sit around and enjoy each others company. In addition to local charities, Good Sam members support the Nevada Good Sam Organization “Nevada Cancer Institute” program. Chapters often hold fund raising events for their charities.
STATE SAMBOREES
Each year the Nevada Good Sam members and chapters gather for two rallies called Samboree which are held in March and September. These are held in various locations around the state. These events bring together hundreds of families from Nevada and other states. Those attending enjoy many special events including live entertainment, food, craft shows, contests, games and seminars.

WHY JOIN A CHAPTER
The Good Sam Club got its start 40 years ago when a handful of RVers put Good Samaritan bumper stickers on their rigs so fellow members would know they could get help on the road. From this small Club we grew. In the early days, Good Sam Members spread the word at RV parks and other Club events. Soon everyone wanted to know how to get a Good Sam "smiling face" decal. You should belong to a local chapter for the fun, fellowship, games, travel, eating, craft, love of the outdoors, camping, etc. A chapter is made up of a varying number of rigs. The individual chapter decides on the number. Chapters support each other by having monthly campouts, or during winter months, having dinner meetings. They camp together and support each other when there are problems. Local chapters have vests in their chapter colors, patches, etc. The more who are involved, the more things you can do. Most all the chapters support local charities.
