The Travel Advisor Conference kick-off event, CAMP CARNIVAL, sponsored by Carnical Cruise line, promises an exciting start to our week. As we bring the beautiful outdoors of Utah indoors, expect to relive the glory days of summer camp with an evening of nostalgic eats, delicious drinks, arts/crafts and fun entertainment.
As attendees step into the rustic atmosphere, they are greeted with the bluegrass melodies of Brushfire Band filling the air on our CAMPhitheater Main Stage. Visit the Craft Corner to make friendship bracelets to share throughout the week or to destress by decorating our coloring wall. You’ll also have many chances to win some prizes from Carnival Cruise Line! Perhaps you may stop by our Watering Hole to test your fishing abilities, or maybe you could visit the Celebration Key Lounge to pickup our event scavenger hunt that might lead to some goodies. You'll find no shortage of unique and exciting entertainment at this event!
Our CAMPhitheater Main Stage becomes a focal point, hosting esteemed speakers from Carnival and ASTA whose words will set the tone to an incredible conference ahead. Make sure you are in the room (with a business card ready) for a chance to win an incredible grand prize, provided by Carnival Cruise Line. We can’t wait for you to join us at CAMP CARNIVAL!
