Jamborees are off-road adventure weekends that bring
together the outdoors, down-to-earth people, and their Jeep 4x4s. These
off-road treks have a long tradition dating back to 1953 when 4x4 pioneer
Mark A. Smith organized the first-ever Jeep Jamboree and voyaged across
the Sierra Nevada Mountains by way of the old Rubicon Trail. In 1954, Willys Motors — then manufacturer of Jeep vehicles — became involved with
the adventure, and Jeep Jamborees have been an off-road tradition ever
since.
A member of the Off-Road Hall of Fame and the Explorers Club,
Mark A. Smith also led the 1978-79 Expedicion
de las Americas — a 20,000-mile odyssey from the bottom of South America
to the top of North America, crossing the infamous Darien Gap — and headed
the 1987 Camel Trophy in Madagascar. Since founding Jeep Jamboree USA in
1982, he’s become a Jeep brand consultant and conducts intensive training
for the U.S. Army Special Forces and various law-enforcement agencies. The
Smiths’ Jeep Jamboree USA conducts over 30 family-oriented Jeep 4x4 trips
nationwide and is truly a family business. Daughter
Jill, President and CEO, brings camaraderie
and excitement to thousands of Jeep 4x4 owners annually, while son-in-law
Pearse Umlauf, Vice President and General
Manager, is focused on expanding Jeep Jamboree USA, which is the world’s
largest Jeep adventure company.
