About The Group

The Explorers Camp Group originally started as “Motor City Explorers Camp Club” by Richard “Sir Rich” Braxton in 2022. The name was changed due to the fact that we all wanted to “explore” the great outdoors and not be bound to just the Detroit area (Motor City).

Richards idea was to team up with like minded RV campers and adventurous people to enjoy the great outdoors. Our explorations simply consisted of RV’ing, camping, sports game tailgating, bonfires, social group gatherings and any type of road trips as a group.
