The goal of an Operation at Ease Weekend is to allow every family time to be together and do things they enjoy.  So, while there are many options for your weekend from doing almost nothing to going non-stop, each shares a common structure, so to speak.
Friday:  Day 1
Arrival is generally in the afternoon to maximize the time you have. 
  • Meet your personal OAE Greeter at the Community Center.  Your Greeter will escort you to your condo and review the information for the weekend.    
  • ​In your condo, your greeter has placed homemade dinner for tonight made by an OAE Volunteer​​
Saturday:  Day 2
  • Breakfast will be in your condo. Homemade by an OAE volunteer
  • Meet for a family photo shoot at a time you have arranged with your personal photographer (who should have contacted you prior to arrival).  Photographers are OAE volunteers, and most have had professional experience.  There is no fee, and you will be given pictures (on a memory stick)
  • If you have selected one of these amenities, it can be part of Saturday or wait until Sunday: 
    • Ferry Ride and visit Fort Fisher Aquarium
    • Two-hour boat ride with an OAE boat captain starting at the St. James Marina
    • Miniature Golf on Oak Island
  • ​Lunch: you will have coupons which provide options or on your own
  • Other activities to consider:
    • St. James Beach Club is on Oak Island, right on the ocean.  There is also a small pool, and beach equipment set aside just for OAE guests
    • Seaside Pool in St. James is a family friendly pool with children and adult areas, as well as a full-service grill
  • Visit Southport.  Visitor packet information on Southport is in your binder
  • Dinner: Coupons have been included for different venues, or go on your own to Southport or Oak Island
Sunday:  Day 3
  • Breakfast will be in your condo, again courtesy of an OAE volunteer
  • While you need to be out of your condo by check out time, you don't have to leave Coastal Carolina
  • Use your amenity option, if you didn't use it on Saturday
  • You have access to the Beach Club and ocean all day
  • ​Visit the Southport attractions
