7th Annual Alberta Camaro Cruise (Father's Day Cruise) - June 18, 2016

The 7th Annual Alberta Camaro Cruise (Father's Day Cruise) will be held on June 18, 2016!

What is it?
This is a cruise through Alberta, starting from both Calgary and Edmonton, driving to Red Deer, on to Rocky Mountain House, and then on to Banff to spend the night. There will be a few stops along the way for pictures and lunch!

Facebook Event
The Western Canada Camaro Club has additional information about this event in our Facebook group!
Please find the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/west...adacamaroclub/

Additionally, there is a Facebook event created for this cruise!
Please find that event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/446912545509770/


Edmonton and area Camaros will be meeting at Save On Foods near 34th Avenue and Calgary Trail at 7:30AM, leaving Edmonton at 8:15AM.

Rocky Mountain House stop and lunch
The Chevrolet dealership in Rocky Mountain House, Edwards Garage, www.edwardsgarage.com, will once again be hosting a lunch for our group! Just like last year, the dealership has elected to work with the local Boys and Girls club to cook! Lunch will cost you a (minimum) $5 donation per person to the Rocky Mountain House Boys and Girls club. A great cause and worthy of our support based on all that Edwards Garage has done for us over the past few years!

Trip to Banff
Rocky Mountain House to Saskatchewan Crossing is about 190km, with three stops along the way:
  • Abraham Lake for photos
  • The Park gates
  • Saskatchewan River Crossing
Each stop will be approx. 20 - 30 minutes, this will keep us all together. For those heading north from Saskatchewan River Crossing, Jasper is about 155km, with some great stops like the Columbia Ice Fields along the way. For the majority of us that are heading south, Banff is about 135km.


Banff Hotel:
We have made arrangements for a group discount at the Douglas Fir Resort and Chalet for this event. HOWEVER, there are no blocked off rooms! It is first come first served! If you want a room, please book now!!

To book a hotel room, please phone:
1-800-661-9267
Use reference #ABCC14 to get the preferred rates.

The following prices are for June 18th, 2016:

For those headed to Jasper:
We do not have a designated hotel. Last year we used the Best Western Jasper Inn & Suites, and have also used the Marmot Lodge in previous years.


Banff Dinner and drinks afterward!
Dinner will be at the Rose and Crown in downtown Banff.

We can order A La Cart, off their standard menu. The chef doesn't see our group size being an issue for them at all, and they are flexible on the numbers. They have a games room with pool tables, buck hunter, foose ball and tables and booths that will accommodate us and we will have our own servers. This will allow us to mix and mingle or sit and relax after driving.
They also have a roof top patio which is hopefully open in June!

They request an 18% gratuity on our bills but we can pay individually.

The hotel offers free transit passes for those that don't want to walk to the restaurant, or drive and try and find parking. Group bus trip!

Hi, I am expecting my new Camaro to arrive in mid May so I should be able to attend, if the event is still planned.
Is there a meal planned somewhere in Banff on Saturday evening
If there is I would probably stay for that and then head to Calgary or perhaps camp in Banff not sure as of just yet.
thanks in advance for any info you can give, oh one more thing I am not a member of the Camaro club, do i need to join first, also is there a fee for the event?

That's great to hear!! I'll add you to the list. (I replied to your post on Camaro5.com as well!)

We are currently working on a meal location for Saturday evening, and I will update this thread when it is all finalized, so please stay tuned!!

I see you are in Leader, Saskatchewan, so can I assume you will be joining the Calgary group for the beginning of the cruise?

How many of you will be attending lunch of dinner?

You can join our facebook group, Western Canada Camaro Club for free! www.fb.com/groups/westerncanadacamaroclub

There is no direct fee for this event, however there will be a few expenses: $20 for the Banff National Park pass, $5 per person for lunch in Rocky Mountain House, and dinner in Banff. If you do plan on staying in Banff at the hotel, please book with the information in the first post.

If you have any questions, please ask here or on our facebook group!!

Thank you for the quick response to my questions, yes will be the Calgary group. Also, unless I am in for a surprise I will be alone. I always buy an annual parks pass anyway so no problem there. I will keep an eye out for more info and I would like to purchase any shirts or such as well if there will be anything available. thanks again, this should be fun!!
