lodgeCamp Helen State Park is offering a movie, food, and fun with a family-oriented movie, environmental interpretive program, and old-fashioned campfire cookout.

The event will start at 5:30 p.m. in the recreation hall with an interpretive program led by a Florida Park ranger. The program will be followed by a cookout including hotdogs and s’mores provided by the Friends of Camp Helen.  Each evening will end with a family movie in the Recreation Hall, where seating will be provided.

A parent or guardian must accompany children.

These special movie nights are sponsored by Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection and the Friends of Camp Helen State Park.  Admission into the park is free, although donations are requested. Donations will go directly to the Friends of Camp Helen State Park to benefit the park’s resource management projects and interpretive programs.

On Saturday, May 31, the movie “FernGully:  The Last Rainforest” will be featured.  In this film, the magical inhabitants of a rainforest fight to save their home from logging and a polluting destructive force named Hexxus. (Rated G)  The movie will be preceded by an interpretive program on Marine Debris.
