Jammin' On the Wolf offers fest goers the unique opportunity to do some white water rafting or river tubing on the Wolf River while attending a camping and music fest. This truly makes Jammin' On The Wolf a one of a kind experience!
Raft-N-Rest Campground will be running a shuttle bus to Big Smokey Falls on the morning of Saturday, July 28th. A 3-4 hour white water rafting trip down the Wolf River is optional for $35 per person with a two person raft and we highly recommend it. If you would rather take a more laid-back river ride then try your luck with some river tubing for $17 and located just steps from the campgrounds at Bob & Joni's.
Fest goers can reserve a raft or tube trip upon checking in at the fest gates.
Rafting and river tubing trips are not included in the ticket cost.

Jammin' On The Wolf was started in 2008 by Shane Davies and Brent Kimbrough of The New Fuse band from Chicago. What started out as the annual rafting and camping trip with the band has since turned into a full blown music, arts and camping festival. 2008 marked the start of something great and was held on the campground where it is still held to this day, Raft-N-Rest Campground. The New Fuse played two nights of music at the local Wolf Pass Bar and it was clear at that point that this magical location needed to be shared.
In 2009 The New Fuse invited along Fifth World and Jammin' On The Wolf went from a one band show to a 2-band mini-fest with about 120 people attending. The bands once again performed at Wolf Pass Bar and set up shop at Raft-N-Rest Campground. It was during this time that members of The New Fuse and Fifth World decided to form a partnership in an effort to make Jammin' On The Wolf a full blown festival. The wheels were set in motion and what followed was nothing short of sensational.
In 2010 Jammin' On The Wolf went big by adding a grip of bands and setting up performing areas on the grounds of Raft-N-Rest Campgrounds. Marty Rocha and Franklin came aboard as partners to Shane Davies and Smu McCarthy to help form the well rounded team that was needed to blow this thing up! JOTW 2010 was a great success and really set the stage for what was to come the following year.
In 2011 Jammin' On The Wolf grew up. The fest went from being a little concert to becoming a full blown music festival with 3 stages of music and over 30 live performances throughout the 3 days of the festival. Bands like Future Rock, Family Groove Company, Steez, The Coop, Wook, Old Shoe, The New Fuse, Jaik Willis, Chicago Farmer and Fifth World really helped bring some Midwestern star power up to the Langlade area. The bar has been set and the JOTW crew is eager to raise that bar each and every year. 2012 looks to be no different. I guess the only question is, do you have your ticket yet? |
