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 2009 were Veteran's Appreciation Weekend, Beach Party Weekend, Camper's Yard Sale, Pirate Weekend, 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!

Friends of Shawnee State Park endeavors would not be possible without the assistance of each and every volunteer and the entire park staff! 

Thank you!
