ATLANTA - Floridant -- The Melanated Cares Foundation is pleased to announce that this year's annual event, Melanated Campout, will be powered by Winnebago Industries (WGO), a leading manufacturer of outdoor lifestyle products, and its foundation, as the title sponsor for the organization's flagship camping retreat.
The campout is hosted by Melanated Cares Foundation, a nonprofit created to promote diversity and inclusion in outdoor spaces. 2024 marks the third year Winnebago Industries Foundation and Melanated Cares Foundation have come together to support the event after launching a successful partnership in 2022.
"Melanated Campout is more than just an event", said Shunté McClellan, CEO of Melanated Cares Foundation. "It's a movement to welcome everyone to the outdoors! We invite everyone to rep their tribe, celebrate our culture, and build lasting memories together in the great outdoors."
Actively working to create diverse and inclusive outdoor spaces, Melanated Campout will return to Georgia on Friday, September 27th to Sunday, September 29th for its 6th year flagship event. Hundreds of diverse campers will be welcomed to an exclusive campground that caters to all styles of camping, including tents, RVs, overlanders, cabins, and safari glamping tents. Attendees will also enjoy scenic lake views, a marina, golfing, dining and more, in addition to Melanated Campout's iconic event itinerary which includes activities from hiking, meditation, RV tips and tricks, survival camping sessions, to kite flying.
