Jefferson Memorial Forest will join tens of thousands of people across the nation as they camp for a cause. The annual Great American Campout is a nationwide event that connects people with the great outdoors. This event is an easy way for friends, families, and children to connect with nature, sleep under the stars, and create memories of outdoor experiences. Jefferson Memorial Forest will provide the campfire, s’mores, and evening activities for your family to enjoy. You provide your dinner, breakfast, and tent. In the morning, you will have the day to explore the Forest; spend time hiking any of our 35 miles of trails or fishing at Tom Wallace Lake with free fishing poles provided at the Welcome Center.

Join the community of compassionate volunteers at Hildegard House. They provide a home and compassionate care for individuals at the end of life who have no home or loved ones to care for them, so that they may die with dignity and access hospice care. They are the family for their residents and care for them just like family members. Compassionate Companions commit to a weekly 5-hour shift. The next volunteer training is Friday, July 14, 6:00 - 8:00pm and Saturday, July 15, 9:00am - 4:00pm. To learn more about volunteering and register at www.hildegardhouse.org or call Volunteer Coordinator Jana McNally at (502) 581-8267.
