The fun-filled weekend event offers Jeep owners 4x4 trail rides, off-road driving courses, live concerts by national and emerging artists, plus the finals of the Jeep King of the Mountain Biking World Championships.

Big band music and a parade of Jeep military vehicles are also planned for that day.

The cost for the entire weekend is $385 per Jeep vehicle, or $335 for owners who register by May 31.

Camp Jeep On The Road takes the best parts of the Camp Jeep experience directly to consumers with an eight-city tour. Themed “On the move and every bit as muddy,” Camp Jeep On The Road offers visitors the opportunity to put the entire Jeep product line through its paces both on- and off-road, and includes a variety of activities synonymous with the Jeep lifestyle.

"Last year Event Marketer magazine called Camp Jeep 'the preeminent annual owner-loyalty program,'", said Jeff Bell, Vice President - Jeep, Chrysler Group. "Nothing has changed. In fact, this year's Camp Jeep will be even better.

The national tour begins in Virginia Beach, Va., on Memorial Day weekend (May 27 - 29) at the Remember the Music - Remember the Heroes Festival. The three-day weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) event is free of charge for owners and non-owners alike.

Each driving program conveys safety and educational messages in a fun, interactive environment.

In addition to the test drive, Camp Jeep On The Road offers a variety of Jeep lifestyle activities, including sand castle sculpting, Quattro bungee jumping and wall climbing.
