Flint River Adventure

Join the Georgia Conservancy, Keeping It Wild, REI and the Gerald I. Lawhorn Scout Camp on September 6th and 7th for an adventure weekend that includes outdoor recreation, bluegrass and great food!

The Flint River Family Adventure will kick off at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 6th at the Gerald I. Lawhorn Scout Camp in Molena, GA and will include activities for adults and children, including archery, rock climbing, zip-line and hiking during the afternoon. Zip-line minimum age is 13 years old.

The fun will continue with a barbecue dinner, guest speakers, campfire-n-s’mores, an “owl prowl” and a campout.

Sunday morning's family-friendly paddle trip on the Flint will launch at 10:00 a.m. Canoe and paddling equipment is provided.

Our partners at Keeping It Wild will lead special historical and cultural activities over the weekend. At 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, you are encouraged to meet in nearby Woodbury, GA for a special presentation on Horace King, an inspirational African-American master bridge builder and politician from the mid-1800's.

Gear, meals, activities and entertainment are all included in the cost, which is $75 per person and $245 for a family or a group (max of 5 people).  We will offer tent camping, platform camping (raised, canvas-sided tents with beds) and a separate "family friendly" camping area. We will have "outdoor ambassadors" on hand to assist first-time campers or people who may need help setting up a tent. Registration includes all the camping equipment you need!
Please pre-register. Walk-ups for the overnight event are discouraged.
