Through June 7 - All Shook Up  

 

Join us for the Fireside premiere of this rocking, rollicking musical comedy featuring the songs of the King of rock and roll  - Elvis Presley.   No tight pants, no kissing and no loud music.  Those are the rules in one small Midwestern 1950's town.  But then a stranger comes to town - a rebellious, guitar-playing, hip swiveling roustabout (who bears a striking resemblance to the King himself). All at once everything changes - young love blooms, unspoken dreams begin to come true, and the once quiet little town is turned upside down in this hilarious, tuneful, high-stepping, award-winning Broadway romp featuring laughs, romance, thrilling dances, and a  host of your favorite Presley classics such as "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Blue Suede Shoes," "Don't Be Cruel," "Burning Love" and many, many more!

May 31, 2015 - Battle at Camrock WORS Bike Race

 

 

 

Wisconsin Off-Road Series Event (WORS) by Capital Off-Road Pathfinders is held at CamRock III.  Capital Off-Road Pathfinders has worked for years to build CamRock Park into one of the hidden gems of mountain biking in Wisconsin. CORP is a volunteer organization that builds and maintains the majority of the off-road cycling trails in Dane County. We are working diligently to make the Battle of CamRock a race that you will look forward to every year.

The trail system at CamRock is a blend of wide and fast flowing single-track that runs through open fields of prairie grass, wooded single-track with bermed turns, and more technical single-track with a touch of roots and rocks. The Battle of CamRock course contains some great downhill sections that will have you begging for another lap. From Citizen to Elite, all courses contain fun single-track, numerous feed zones, and finish with a grass double-track climb before sprinting to the finish.
