Support

Outdoor Connection franchisees receive support from many levels.  First, Outdoor Connection maintains support offices for communication and material distribution convenience.  These offices also take care of availability checks, lodge reservations, hotel and rental car reservations, as well as airfare.    

Second, Outdoor Connection maintains a 2,000+ page website viewable only by it's franchisees.  This site contains all the information needed on represented lodges and outfitters including:  rate sheets, information packs, brochures, lodge reports, photos and much more.  These pages are in PDF and Word format making them readily printable to letterhead.  

Third, every second year Outdoor Connection franchisees elect one of their peers to serve a two year position on the Outdoor Connection Advisory Panel.  The country is divided into six regions and each year the regional representatives join with Outdoor Connection management to discuss new programs, needed destinations, and individual region reports.  The representatives contact all franchisees in their region to get their views and opinions.  This ensures a line of communication between franchisees and management.  Of course, every second year the annual meeting is held at one of Outdoor Connection's approved lodges so there is a perk for serving on this panel.  

Finally, Outdoor Connection franchisees are a team.  The phone and email contact information for all franchisees is available on the agent's web site.  A list containing which franchisees have visited which lodge is also available at that site.  This gives each franchisee the opportunity to communicate with other franchisees on specific questions regarding each destination.
