Come join us for our annual event in Chelsea Michigan. We've put together a wonderful list of instructors to teach classes on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Come on Wednesday and set up your camp or stay in one of the cabins which are included in the price. Wednesday evening will be the first meal, with Thursday, Friday and Saturday serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sunday we will have a free for all with all the events left overs and food supplies up for taking.
