About the Camp

IMG_20231212_162637_775_edited_edited.jpg

Northern Michigan FurCamp is a locally-run camping mini-con, promoting the protection of the natural world. We strive to create a positive, accepting, and freeing space where furries can kick up their paws and relax. We hope our attendees can socialize, tell stories around the campfire, swim, play games, geek out, and most importantly, have a good time. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for our group to congregate, make friends, have fun, and learn about the ecosystem and its inhabitants. All extra funds get donated to a wildlife charity of our choice: the Skegemog Raptor Center! See the charity page under the information tab for more info.

Food will not be provided so please make sure to bring yourself food for the weekend!

​

Please bring a cooler to store all cold foods in. At night, make sure all food is put away either in the bear box, tents, or cars. We don't want any critter mishaps (like that raccoon that ate a whole stick of butter and a loaf of bread back in 2023).

​

All food will be cooked over fires, just like in previous years! You are free to bring whatever tools you would like to aid in cooking. There are two fire rings that you may cook your food over. Gas stoves are allowed.
