Stuckie’s Summer Camp was such a hit with our son! He had such a wonderful week! He learned and retained so much information! I was blown away! The learning, crafts, activities, water day, snow cones, backpack of goodies, t-shirt, stuffed animal, the list could go on… it was much more than we were expecting! The leaders and volunteers went above and beyond to make sure the kids had a wonderful, memorable week! Our son is already looking forward to next year! Thank you, Southern Forest World!

We had a great time, from Stucky to spacesuits! We took our young grandsons. We all had a wonderful time, both in the museum and out on the grounds. It was a wonderful surprise after touring the Okeefenokee Heritage Museum next door.
