More than 200 teardrop trailers gathered in Sugarcreek, Ohio, last week as part of the fifth annual uCamp Teardrop Rally.
nuCamp, a major manufacturer of campers and teardrop trailers based in Sugarcreek, hosts the event each year. The company was thrilled to bring the event back after a hiatus during COVID, when the event was held virtually.
uCamp21 was held at Winklepleck Grove Campground in Sugarcreek, less than a mile from the nuCamp manufacturing facility. The event featured a full entertainment schedule, group meals, and opportunities to socialize with other nuCamp and teardrop enthusiasts.
Bob Bundy, who traveled from Independence, Va., has attended three rallies – as well as the virtual rally in 2020. He and his wife owned a TAG before upgrading to a larger unit, the TAB 320.
“We love the product, but we especially love everybody getting together,” he said. “It’s exciting just to meet people from all over. It’s a great opportunity and a lot of fun.”
Some highlights from the event included Q&A sessions with nuCamp techs, camper-led sessions, plant tours, a swap meet, movie night, daily breakfasts and two nuCamp-sponsored dinners. Independent activities were also available, and there were several camper-planned activities including a gathering at the world’s largest cuckoo clock in the heart of the village and exploring the Sugarcreek area.
Scott Hubble, nuCamp CEO stated, “It’s been two years since we last gathered and as the tagline for this year’s event states, we are indeed, ‘better together.’ It’s a tremendous feeling seeing over 400 members of our nuCamp family come together to experience a week full of fun, friends and fellowship. One of the main reasons we are on this earth is to help improve the lives of those around us. Making high quality products provides us the platform to do that, but it’s the human connections that are truly impactful.”
