About the event

Sharpen your survival skills at Beech Bluff County Park! Throughout the week we will learn what it takes to survive in the wild, from building a variety of shelters and navigating through nature to preparing safe food and water. We will explore the unique environments Beech Bluff has to offer and pick up valuable tips along the ways, such as growing and storing food in the Agricultural Fields and how to scout out the perfect campsite in the acres of woods. Drop off begins at 8:30 and all campers must be picked up by 5:30pm. Campers bring own lunch and snacks. This camp is open to campers ages 8 - 12 years.

Storytime with Kelly Starling Lyons: Ellen's Broom

Join author Kelly Starling Lyons on August 1 at 2 p.m. to listen to her illustrated children’s book Ellen's Broom, and learn about the story's background and the author's inspiration. Participants will enjoy a powerful story about preserving strong family ties in the face of injustice, the merging of new and old traditions, and the history of "jumping the broom." For a reminder of these important lessons, each participant will make a mini-broom pencil to take home! Free and open to all ages but recommended for ages 5–10. Registration is required for all participating children, and all kids must have a supervising adult(s). The program will take place indoors in the park's climate-controlled Main House, followed by a craft activity. Schedule: Aug 1, 2026 Saturday from 2pm to 3pm Duration: 1 hour Ages: All ages,
