Being a Friend
Being a friend of Shawnee State park is much more than taking a weekend afternoon to pick up litter. It's everything from planning and implementing exciting weekend camping themes to hosting family movie nights and educational programs that enhance the park's amenities for a wonderful park experience!
Some of the events for 2008 include Mother's Day Weekend, Camper's Flea Market, Wet & Wild Weekend, Pirate Weekend, Catfish Tournament, Motorcycle Cruise In, Halloween Camp Out, and the Fall Hike.
As you can see with the above mentioned events we are a very busy organization. We have alot of fun together and enjoy the work that we do, however our greatest reward is volunteering in such a beautiful setting. Whether you're exploring on your own or visiting with family and friends, Shawnee State Park definitely has your memories-in-the-making, and the Friends are quite proud of being part of the process!
