What is a Typical Weekend?

The goal of an Operation at Ease Weekend is to allow every family time to be together and do things they enjoy as a unique family.  So while their 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​​

  • Breakfast will be in your condo. Homemade by an OAE volunteer
  • At a time you have arranged with your personal photographer (who should have contacted you prior to arrival), meet for a photo shoot of your family for you to take home.  All photographers are OAE volunteers and most have had professional experience.  All the pictures are yours, and their is no fee
  • If you have selected one of these amenities, that can be part of Saturday or wait until Sunday: 
    • Ferry Ride and Visit Fort Fisher Aquarium
    • Two hour boat ride with an OAE volunteer 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 depths, as well as, a snack bar
  • 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
