The Southern Conservation Trust (SCT) is excited to bring a summer of exploration, learning, and environmental stewardship to Coweta County starting July 8, 2024.

Through its Fayette Environmental Education Center, SCT will be offering a week-long camp at McGuffy Park in Newnan where campers will be able to engage in nature and the outdoors through environmental education and various outdoor activities including archery, hiking, kayaking, fishing, and tree climbing.


With the growing trend of environmental education in youth development, SCT's Outdoor Adventure Camp aims to instill a sense of responsibility and respect for the environment in young individuals, aged 11-14. Participants will have the chance to explore and appreciate the natural beauty of their surroundings. These experiences will deepen their understanding of the environment and foster a sense of adventure and resilience. Caroline Creel, Director of Education at the Fayette Environmental Education Center, says, "We aim to instill a sense of responsibility and respect for the environment in young individuals."
