Being an Activity Host has its benefits
Earn Free Membership - Activity Hosts that complete four events a year will receive free membership (family or individual depending on your situation) for the next year. The WT calendar runs from July 1st – June 30th. Your event count will be retroactive back to the past July 1st. To have your event qualify as an “Official Event” towards free membership you must meet the following requirements:
  1. The event must be submitted and scheduled in the WT Newsletter
  2. The activity sign-in form(s) must be completed and sent to the Activity Director
  3. A trip report must be posted on the WT Message Center for each of your completed events
The Activities Director will keep track of each host's participation and delivery of required papers.  Hosts believing that they have met the qualification should verify their standing with the Activities Director in the July time frame when the prior year has completed.  Please continue to pay your membership fee at your scheduled time. When you qualify for your free membership we will extend your membership for the following year if you have already paid.
Host Recognition Banquet – The Saturday evening dinner at the WT Annual Gathering in the fall will  be the Host Recognition Banquet.  We have set aside this time to honor our Activity Host. There will be an “Activity Host” raffle for a nice prize that evening. Each host will receive one raffle ticket for each event that they have completed for the prior year ending June 30th.
WT Name Tags – The Wilderness Trekker green nametag will be provided to hosts through the Activities Director.  The hosts have to initiate the request.
