"The Portage Lake Unit is an ideal location for the event; it's centrally located between the two universities.  This event is a great way to spend a fall weekend with your friends and family, while cheering on your team." - Shane Morse

All events will take place at Portage Lake Campground.  Activities include a bike parade Saturday morning, a punting contest and quarterback toss, lawn games such as a bean bag toss and ladder golf.  There will also be an MSU vs. UM tug of war.  Finally, make sure you bring decorations for your camp site and vehicles, we will be handing out awards for the best decorated UM and MSU camp sites and vehicles.
