BRING YOUR APPETITE AND LEAVE WITH MEMORIES

Join us for a laid-back weekend of camping, chili, and community. Whether you’re a seasoned hanger or just hammock-curious, this event is all about relaxing in the trees, learning new skills, and connecting with friendly folks.

Enjoy a crowd-voted chili cook-off, hands-on classes for outdoor skills and hammock know-how, a guided hammock tour to check out unique setups, and a welcoming NewHangers Social to help you settle in. Browse the gear market, meet local vendors, and enter our prize-packed raffle supporting the NCTA Chief Noonday Chapter.

Whether you’re here to relax, learn, or just enjoy Michigan’s fall season — we can’t wait to hang with you!
