Camp EKKO 2026 - Rocky Mountains

The 2nd Annual Camp EKKO

Camp EKKO 2026 brought almost 400 Winnebago Ekko owners together at Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains in Granby, Colorado, just 30 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, for three days of chats, socials, and community. The resort’s paddling lake, fishing lake, pool, and bar/restaurants gave the rally plenty of room to spread out between sessions.

Chats & Seminars

Winnebago’s EKKO production team opened the weekend with a Q&A, followed by a full slate of owner-led chat sessions repeated across blocks throughout Friday and Saturday:

• Truma Appliances — maintenance best practices, with Lara Hunsberger
• Fantasy RV Tours — touring Alaska & Canada, and the Southwest, with Sue & Rich Bennett
• Habitat for Humanity RV Care-A-Vanners — travel with a purpose, with Larry & Ty Jones
• Lithionics — power systems made simple, plus battery care & storage, with Tim Helgeson
• Stuck Happens — off-road recovery skills, with Ben Powell
• Suspension Upgrades — discussion led by Brian Whidden
• Camphosting — what it’s really like, with Larry & Donna Pareene
• Starter Batteries — how to avoid a dead one, with Danielle & Brad Desmet
• Window Struts & EKKO Tips — with Marek Sawczuk
• Cassette Toilets — best practices, with James & Stef
• National Park Service Volunteering — stories from Mark & Amy Mulder
• Drinking Water Safety — best practices with James Adinaro

Social Events

The weekend kicked off with Mod Tours and the Camp EKKO Welcome Tent, followed by the three-night Festival of Lights, with winners and prizes from Winnebago announced at Saturday’s Final Big Gathering (FBG). Attendees also gathered for morning yoga, open pickleball, a Dolly Parton tribute, a Killer Chardonnay book club social, and nightly Mayor-hosted town happy hours. The rally closed with a group photo, dinner at the resort’s Headwaters Tavern, and live music by Jon Licht, courtesy of Winnebago.

Giving Back

Between the generously donated Silent Auction prizes and t-shirt donations, attendees raised just over $20,000 organically for RV Care-a-Vanners, a division of Habitat for Humanity — and Winnebago rounded it up to an incredible $25,000 total, presented at the FBG. Donna Pareene’s yarn circle for Warm Up America collected 20 handmade squares toward their blanket donations.
