10th Annual Mickey’s Camp for men!
Mickey’s Camp was the long-time dream of local businessman Mickey Maurer. In 2001, this dream came true with the inaugural Mickey’s Camp. In the past nine years, Mickey’s Camp enabled business professionals to leave behind daily pressures, explore new opportunities, perfect old skills and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow campers in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
 Last year more than 125 men attended the 9th annual men’s camp. The women’s and men’s camps combined to raise more than $250,000 for 144 local charities. This year we are proud to present an extraordinary array of experts for the 10th Annual Mickey’s Camp, scheduled for August 18-20, at Bradford Woods Outdoor Center.
Your time will be filled with exciting 90-minute sessions throughout Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Options include gourmet cooking, poker, self-defense, economics, painting, canoeing, billiards and so much more. You may also relax around the pool, have a massage or read a good book. Evening activities promise to be equally enjoyable as you will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue with Congressman Mike Pence, dine on delicious cuisine provided by Sullivan’s Steakhouse and Capital Grille, play in a poker tournament, eat s’mores around the campfire or turn the lights out early and rest up for another exciting day at camp. This year other sponsored meals include: Great Cooks & Company, Harry & Izzy’s and Shapiro’s.
Read on to learn about what’s in store for you at Mickey’s Camp.
Sign up soon; reservations will be held on a first come, first served basis.
