James H. “Sloppy” Floyd State Park is gearing up for another summer of outdoor adventure with the return of its annual Junior Ranger Camp.

Park officials say registration is now open for three sessions of the popular camp, which is designed for children ages 6 to 12. The camp offers hands-on learning experiences focused on nature, outdoor skills, and wildlife education.

This year’s sessions are scheduled for June 10–12, June 22–23, and July 16–17. The first session will run three days, while the remaining camps are two-day programs.

Participants will work alongside park rangers and take part in activities such as archery basics, fishing, and wildlife education. Organizers say the program is designed to help children explore the outdoors while building confidence and appreciation for Georgia’s natural resources.

The cost is $65 for the three-day camp and $45 for each of the two-day sessions.

Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. For more information or to sign up, contact the park at 706-857-0826.
