Natural Environment Event: Great Chatham County Camp Saturday, June 26, 2021 Sponsored by Central Electric Chatham County families are invited to spend the night camping at a designated campsite, in their own backyard, or even in a homemade fort in their living room. Participants can follow along on their own time with many community organizations that will be releasing videos about camping tips and the natural environment of Chatham County. “B. Everett Jordan Dam is looking forward to partnering with Chatham 250 on the Great Chatham County Camp Out by offering a one-night-only camping experience,” said Blake Johnson, Natural Resource Specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at B. Everett Jordan Lake. “We’re planning multiple cultural and nature programs for the in-person campout, including storytelling with a Bynum Front Porch storyteller, a campfire sing-a-long, guided hikes and ranger programs with the staff from B. Everett Jordan Dam. We hope to also live stream these programs for our remote campers. It should be an unforgettable night!” Learn more about Chatham 250 Events and Passport Experience For more information on Chatham 250 events and activities, residents may visit www.chatham250.com, or follow Chatham County on Twitter and Facebook.
