Step 1. Watch everything Charlie Berens posts on Youtube to understand the local culture.
Step 2. Check when it happens for 2026, then get a hotel room around Feb or March for that time frame. Yes, they do go that fast!
Step 3. Wear Chicago Bears attire at your own peril.

Will meet you there. The last time that I went, we had a hotel in Green Bay, but that was more to expedite our departure.

If you want it to be a life-changing event, there are only two ways to make that happen: fly in and camp, or RV into Camp Scholler. There is something about being on-site overnight that makes it special. Youâre not a visitor. You are a participantâa citizen. Thatâs it actually. All 20,000+ (totally made up number) people inside or near the fence overnight are part of some great pop-up society centered around aviation and nothing else. Scholler is its own very unique culture-within-a-culture. The RVs are clustered into neighborhoods. Some neighborhoods are EAA and other club chapters. Many are countries with big flags matching the languages and cuisines cooking on the barbies. RV-ing into Oshkosh is not cheap. But I submit that the experiences at camp will be the indelible memories you take back home. The night shows will make their mark, sure. But the camp is what makes you a believer forever.
