Master Wagon Master Ole Mickeee has announced the
Northeast Truckcampers Jamborees for 2023.
Jamborees are both social and educational events that bring together truck campers from New England and neighboring states. Every level of expertise from novice to veteran and everyone in between is welcome.
Jamborees are where friendships are renewed, a chance to meet new friends, truck camping will be promoted, and stories of travel experiences are exchanged over a cup of coffee or a hot dog and marshmallows around a campfire. You might even learn of places to add to your family’s to-do bucket list.
Some jamborees include informal seminars on the maintenance of various camper systems.
