Affinity, the nation’s largest provider of outdoor recreation clubs, services, media and events, and parent company of RV.net, announces a new major partnership with the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps (HITWC). The global charity organization is the dream of late actor Paul Newman, and includes a network of camps that provide a traditional, magical camp experience for children with serious illnesses and life-threatening conditions. The partnership between Affinity and HITWC is designed to build awareness of the non-profit’s programs through Affinity’s vast array of outdoor clubs, publications, and Web sites, to raise money to send kids to camp, and to generate volunteer hours to help the camps operate.

“Affinity’s publications, employees and membership groups inspire youth and families to participate in outdoor recreational activities and to understand, appreciate and enjoy its benefits,” said Mike Schneider, president and CEO of Affinity. “Our relationship with Hole in the Wall Camps will allow children the opportunity to experience what we already know and love about the outdoors, and we couldn’t be more proud of the partnership.”

  3. I assure you, it’s “Hole in the Wall”. It was founded by Paul Newman in 1988.

    It’s not Hole in the Wall. It’s Hole in the Woods.

  5. If you’d like to help and are a Good Sam Club member, check with your local or regional chapter president for ways you can assist directly through your chapter. Information should be on it’s way to the chapters throughout the month of October, as well as inside the October edition of Highways magazine. Otherwise, stay tuned to the RV.net blog, as we’ll post more information on specific ways for everyone to help as we move into November and December.

    This is a great organization and they need to expand. I would love to volunteer, but the Affinity website doesn’t give any information about how to do that – or how to contribute. Will there be a presence at Quartzite?

    There’s got to be some money or publicity in this or Affinity wouldn’t be involved. Don’t roll over Paul
