CAMPING
Our meetup headquarters will be the Kiwanis Pavilion at Prairie Island Campground, just minutes from downtown Winona.
Attendees are responsible for reserving their own campsites directly with Prairie Island Campground.
Prairie Island Campground is pet-friendly and also offers a large off-leash dog park, showers, restrooms, a camp store, two renowned disc golf courses, playgrounds, and very easy access to fishing and paddling on the Mississippi River.

HOTEL OPTION
Prefer not to camp? We recommend AmericInn by Wyndham Winona, located just a short drive from the campground.

REGISTRATION
$15 per Honda Element; registration form will be available on Wednesday, June 17. Registered participants will receive an event sticker, goodie bag, raffle entry, and access to additional meetup activities throughout the weekend, including refreshments, awards, and more!

SUNDAY BOAT TOUR
Attendees are encouraged to reserve tickets for the Winona Tour Boat at 11am. This is one of the area's most popular attractions and tickets often sell out. (Sorry, no pets or E's permitted on the boat.)
Additional details, links, registration information, recommended campsites, and the full itinerary will be posted on or before June 17.

We hope you'll join us for a weekend exploring the bluffs, bridges, and backwaters of the Mississippi River with our fellow Honda Element enthusiasts!
