UP A RIVER

Over 150 hunting camps in the Ottawa National Forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula are now only a memory for the generations of people who enjoyed them.

“UP A RIVER” is a cultural documentary about the people who upheld the "deer camp" culture in the U.P. for decades, a tradition that is severely declining.

Laughs are shared, tears are shed and all agree that "goin' to camp" is something that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

"UP A RIVER" documents the end of an era for all of those with ties to these treasured U.P. camps and lifestyle.


Film was completed in 2016.
