Proceeds from the VIP and T-Shirt sales goes to our charity. Click on the VIP pass and T-Shirt purchase tab to register for the event.

We are extremely excited to announce that Bear Mayhem 2023 is finally here (May 5 through May 7, 2023). This year we will be at In the Woods campground in Canon Georgia. We are planning some wonderful events to make it a great weekend for all who attend. Space is limited as always so please remember to reserve your lodging early. You will need to purchase a VIP pass for Bear Mayhem in order to book a room.

All proceeds will again go to Lost n Found Youth. Please register and purchase your VIP Pass (Meals/Cocktail parties) and T-Shirts.

Now in our twelfth year, we hope to again donate several thousand dollars to Lost and Found! Please join us in making this the biggest and best year ever and hopefully we can beat our last years donations as well!
