The Walker County, Georgia, local government and the chamber of commerce will host a series of outdoor events this year, beginning May 25 at Mountain Cove Farms.
As part of the “Walker Rocks Outdoor Series,” the county will host a family camp near the antebellum mansion in McLemore Cove. Families can set up tents beginning at 2 p.m. on May 25 and stay through the night.
Tickets are $10 at the gate, but families can purchase them online for $5. You can buy the tickets at WalkerRocks.com or the Walker County Chamber of Commerce website. Families will need to pack up their tents by 9 a.m. on May 26.
“This is a family friendly event that offers a unique opportunity for parents with young children to try out camping and see what it’s like to sleep outdoors,” Chamber of Commerce President Lacey Wilson said in a statement. “We also see this as a staycation of sorts for folks looking for something unique to do with their family over the holiday weekend.”
The county will host activities such as three-legged races, sack races and kickball. The county will sell food, drinks and popcorn, with proceeds benefiting the Family Crisis Center of Walker, Dade, Catoosa and Chattooga counties.
