Here's what MRCA member Paul Bugbee (Bug-bee Hive Resort, Paynesville) says about his membership: “Like many other organizations with whom I have been involved over the course of my lifetime I always find a tremendous sense of fulfillment and growth as a result of my participation. Others who sit at these tables, those who share their commitment and their passion for various causes and pursuits, always have depth and insight that go far beyond what I may have to offer. However humbling it may be to rub shoulders with some of the giants of my industry and my community, I am rewarded beyond measure by their gracious acceptance, encouragement and support. Where else can one fly with the eagles from the makings of a sparrow’s nest!” Join the Minnesota Resort and Campground Association to help yourself, as well as your peers, improve Minnesota's resort and campground industry.
