The groundbreaking ceremony will introduce the new project and highlight the nature based summer camp facility that will also be utilized for team building retreats, community programs, and house out of state visitors for other learning opportunities. The campus will include multiple cabins, dining hall, infirmary, canteen, and campfire landing. Camp Longleaf will incorporate hands-on programs similar to what the E.O.Wilson Biophilia Center has become known for, but with a fun and new Summer Camp twist!
