Join us again for a fun filled weekend for the whole family. We’ll camp just outside of St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. Plan to gather Friday evening around 6 p.m., at the Newport Park campground where we will have a grill set up. Bring your burgers or whatever for grilling and something to share and we’ll have a “potluck” grill. Afterwards, we’ll tell stories around a camp-fire, and try calling in some owls.

Saturday morning we’ll meet at the St. Marks Lighthouse at 8 a.m. After birding St. Marks Refuge we will re-group at the campground around 6pm for a potluck meal. Come earlier to hang out if you like. Please RSVP to Judy Jeffas for camping arrangements. (904-612-7036).
