About Roving Wolverines

The Roving Wolverines is a Chapter of the Family Motor Coach Association3 (FMCA). The FMCA has around 250 chapters organized in 10 areas covering the USA and Canada. Roving Wolverines is one of 23 chapters in GREAT LAKES AREA. This chapter has about 40 member families from Michigan, Illinois and Ohio.

Roving Wolverines activities include rallies, caravans, and an annual convention. The chapter usually holds three extended weekend rallies each year in May, July and September. The chapter also sponsors one caravan usually following the Fall Rally to travel a planned sight-seeing route over 2 to 3 weeks. A rally generally attracts about 20 families. Guests are always welcome. The caravan normally involves 10 to 15 chapter families. Our members also participate in the annual FMCA Area rally (G.L.A.S.S.) and the summer FMCA National Convention.

Chapter Rallies: Most club rallies are held from Friday afternoon through Sunday noon typically at locations where electricity, water, and usually sewer, hookups are available. Advance registration and pre-payment of rally fees is required some weeks prior to the event to hold a spot in the campground. Rally fees vary based on the campground at which the rally is held. Each rally is hosted by one or more couples who plan meals (usually including a potluck and a dinner at a near by restaurant ), and extra activities in the areas near the campground. See our Calendar for dates and Photo Gallery for pictures from a couple year's events.

Chapter Caravan: The chapter normally offers an annual multiple week caravan traveling to interesting places around the country. Over the last several years the caravans have traveled to each coast. Caravan leaders plan the routes and make all necessary reservations for campgrounds and activities based on the input of participants. Trip routing is provided and coaches travel in small groups from location to location.

Area Rally: The Chapter participates and supports the GREAT LAKES AREA SPRING SPREE (G.L.A.S.S.), a 5 day rally held over the Memorial Day weekend each year in Berrien Springs, MI. The GLASS event offers seminars, vendor displays, new coach displays, entertainment, and fun for the whole family. About 900 families attend the event. The Roving Wolverines typically assist in preparations / setup and coach parking for the rally.

National Convention: The National Convention is similar in content to the Area Rally only much larger. In addition there are meetings of the National Officers, and National and Alternate National Directors. These meetings set policies and directions for the organization and elect National Officers.
