Being an Event Host has it benefits

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 "event calendar" runs from April 1st - March 31th. Your event counts will be calculated during this time period. 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 March time frame when the prior year has completed. Please submit your application renewal regardless when it is mailed to you at the beginning of March, but write in that the Activities Director has confirmed free membership and send no money with the application. By submitting your renewal, we will ensure that our host remain as active members and it reduces confusion.

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 March 31st..

The Wilderness Trekker green nametag will be provided to hosts through the Activities Director. The hosts have to initiate the request.
