Our days are packed with Trailblazer Sessions and Leadership Paths — hands-on adventures that challenge, inspire, and fill your camp notebook with new ideas. And when the sun dips low over the desert? That’s when the real magic begins — shared meals, campfire conversations, and stories that remind us why we serve.
The Wigwam’s sun-washed courtyards and glowing pathways set the scene for a week of learning, laughter, and lifelong friendships.
Can’t wait to see you around the campfire,
Your Camp Big West Crew" Learn more about this year's Rotary Zones 26 and 27 Institute 2026 here: https://www.zoneinstitute.org/

The Rotary Club of Grover Beach-Five Cities will be participating in the Rotary International (RI) Southwest President-Elect Learning Seminars (PELS) 2027:
"Rotary President-Elect Learning Seminars (PELS) are essential events for incoming Rotary Club Presidents to prepare for their year of service. As club presidents-elect prepare to lead and guide their club, PETS provides an incredible opportunity to learn their role and work with others to set goals.
PELS is more than leadership training. It’s an experience – and for many Rotarians, it’s one of the most memorable and inspiring experiences of their Rotary careers! You’ll have the opportunity to meet Rotary International leadership, hear from great speakers and celebrate your district’s efforts to change our world! Southwest PELS is a partnership of 11 Rotary districts encompassing five states. The first multi-district PETS established in the United States, today it has the distinction of being one of the largest multi-district PETS in the country! This inspiring and informative seminar exposes Presidents-Elect to the latest trends and techniques in the operation of a Rotary Club. The PETS experience is also a wonderful opportunity for great fellowship and networking with over 600 Presidents-Elect from throughout the Western United States! This website will assist in your preparation for PELS and can also be used as a resource at any time. Building Future Rotary Leaders!" Learn more here: https://www.southwestpels.org/
