Xscapers Fourth of July Convergence in beautiful Salida, CO!
This year, we’re turning up the fun with whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, a brewery takeover, and an arcade takeover! But that’s not all—relive your childhood with an epic Field Day, featuring all your favorite classic games.
Adventure, community, and celebration—this is a 4th of July you won’t want to miss!
Celebrate all the greatness of our nation and our community!
Small Town Parade
Experience the charm and excitement of a classic small-town parade this Independence Day in Salida, CO! Walk, ride, or roll with your fellow Xscapers as we bring the spirit of adventure to Main Street. Decorate your rigs, bikes, or floats in red, white, and blue, toss out candy, and wave to the crowds—it’s all about fun, community, and celebrating freedom on the road!
Elevation Brewery Takeover
Join us for a laid-back, laughter-filled evening as we take over Elevation Beer Co. for a night of craft brews, great company, and pure Xscapers fun! With our very own reserved tent, there’s plenty of space to kick back, swap stories, and soak in the mountain vibes—no plans, no schedule, just good times flowing as freely as the beer. And the best part? It’s just a short walk from where we’re staying! Whether you’re sipping a hoppy IPA, a crisp lager, or something adventurous, this is the perfect way to unwind. Cheers to freedom, friends, and unforgettable memories!
Fun Street Arcade
Get ready to level up with an epic Xscapers arcade takeover at Fun Street Arcade in Salida! We’re bringing the crew together for a night of retro classics, pinball battles, and friendly competition—because nothing says freedom like a little gaming fun. Whether you’re chasing high scores, challenging friends to a round of air hockey, or just soaking in the neon glow, this is the ultimate place to let loose.
And when you need a break? Moonlight Pizza is right across the street! Grab a slice, refuel, and get back in the game. Bring some cash or a card for tokens, and let’s make it a night to remember! Who’s ready to play?
Field Day
Who says field days are just for kids? Get ready for an epic field day packed with laughter, competition, and a healthy dose of nostalgia—this isn’t your average day of games! Grab your team and get ready for sack races, tug-of-war, and three-legged relay races, but with a twist: maybe throw in some beer pong or cornhole for good measure, and don’t forget the water balloon toss for a cool-down after all the action.
Obstacle courses, giant Jenga, and giant beach ball volleyball will keep the fun flowing, while a few surprises will make sure things stay unpredictable and hilarious. Add in plenty of otter pops, cold drinks, and music, and you’ve got an unforgettable day of fun with friends.
Get ready to channel your inner kid. Victory or defeat, it’s all about the fun, the memories, and the competition! Let the games begin!
Optional Event Add-Ons
Browns Canyon Whitewater Rafting
Top Notch Whitewater Rafting – Perfect for Beginners!
Considered one of the best rafting trips in the country, Browns Canyon is a great experience for everyone. Families, beginners, and experienced rafters all enjoy exhilarating class III rapids and amazing scenery in this remote granite canyon. Regardless of river levels, this gem always delivers on the promise of fun and excitement. With Independent Whitewater, you get two extra rapids and can experience all of the Brown’s Canyon National Monument on a half-day trip thanks to their private takeout! Other companies use a public access point, causing rafters to miss two of the best rapids in the canyon, Seidel’s Suckhole and Twin Falls. IW guides love these rapids, and you’re sure to love them too! More miles, more smiles!
This 12-mile trip begins at Fisherman’s Bridge and takes you all the way through the beautiful Browns Canyon National Monument, where we navigate 11 class III and III+ rapids. Browns Canyon trips are done in paddle boats where everyone participates in the fun. Browns Canyon whitewater rafting mixes fun, splashy waves with calmer sections. This gives time to appreciate this classic river canyon’s iconic beauty. Classic rapids like Zoom Flume, Pinball and Canyon Doors provide genuine excitement for experienced rafters and for first timers seeking the best family friendly whitewater rafting trip in Colorado.
Once you experience the fun, splashy whitewater and stunning scenery of Browns Canyon National Monument, you’ll understand why Browns Canyon is some of the best rafting in Colorado.

What to expect at an Xscapers Convergence
Is this event right for me?
Xscapers was formed to bring Escapees RV Club back to its original roots of supporting RVers who are working from the road. At Convergences, you will find a community of active and free-spirited individuals with a passion for travel and adventure.
👨💻
About 80% of Xscapers have full-time jobs they do remotely or seasonally. This means we typically don’t hold activities during standard work hours (with the exception of Annual Bash). Starting later in the day also means later nights. We have found that this can be a factor in deciding what event program people attend.
🌞
We try to give the most fun and entertainment value at an affordable price. One way we do that is by boondocking as much as possible. Our events are also a great way for newbie boondockers to learn from experienced ones. We try to divide our camping areas into those who have solar and those who want to run generators when possible.
🤘
Xscapers is an inclusive community, connected through the bond of RVing. This means we welcome people from all walks of life, no matter race, sexual orientation, political/religious views, lifestyle or RV type. Discrimination of any type will not be tolerated.
