MOM and KIDS Earth Day Camping Overnight
Let’s celebrate Earth Day together!
Time for the mommies out there to come out of the woodwork and enjoy a night camping with your babes! We will be camping in the campground. Hopefully, it will be warm enough that the kiddos can play in the water a bit and explore so please bring a towel. Come have fun…. this is just a casual event for MOMS and KIDS to meet!
This will only be for one night. We can meet each other and explore the local trails. For those who are brave, you can go up to John Rock for the sunset!
As always this is a “LEAVE NO TRACE” practice, so the less trash we make, the better. If you can bring your own flatware and plates that would be AMAZING, otherwise we will have plates, cups, and utensils.

Do you have a girl interested in becoming a Girl Scout? Does she want to travel, learn new hobbies & skills, make friends, and see & do things she may have never had the chance to do before?
Come to St. John’s Episcopal Church (Old Haw Creek Road) on Thursday, April 19 to learn more about getting her involved in Girl Scouts. There are many ways to participate: camp, troop, individually and/or through programs.

Girl Scouts is for girls K-12 and current Girl Scouts will be leading fun activities for interested girls during this informational meeting.
