Down in the sun-kissed, peach-scented state of Georgia, where the trees sway in rhythmic harmony with the sweet southern breeze, there's an enchanted world teeming with pint-sized explorers! These aren't just any explorers, oh no! They are the daring, the brave, the legendary Georgia Nature Knights! These pint-sized adventurers, with their mud-smeared faces and grass-stained knees, dash through the lush forests, scale the majestic Appalachian Mountains, and wade through the cool waters of the Chattahoochee River with a zest for discovery and a twinkle in their eyes. Their leader is none other than the fantastically funny Sir Chuckles-a-Lot, a whimsical woodland gnome with an unruly beard, as colorful as a rainbow, and a laugh that echoes through the valleys and bounces off the hills. Sir Chuckles-a-Lot, wearing his acorn hat at a jaunty angle, guides the Georgia Nature Knights on their thrilling escapades. They unearth magical crystals in hidden caves, save wayward tadpoles from drying puddles and track the elusive Bigfoot who, between you and me, is just Sir Chuckles-a-Lot sporting oversized boots and a twig for a tail. They learn about the enchanting flora and curious fauna that call Georgia home, all while sharing more giggles than there are peaches in the state. Days end with the Georgia Nature Knights and Sir Chuckles-a-Lot, around a dancing campfire, telling tales of their adventures, their laughter mingling with the fireflies that twinkle like a constellation of Earth-bound stars. In this magical corner of Georgia, nature isn't just something to look at from a window, it's a world waiting to be discovered, one funny, muddy, laughter-filled adventure at a time.

The Board of Directors of the Georgia Lions Camp have a clear mission: to give a unique recreational experience to the visually impaired of Georgia and the surrounding states. This mission was entrusted to them by the State of Georgia in 1975, when they were granted use of the property in Waycross. The Board of Directors have taken this mission seriously and use the property for the benefit of the visually impaired community. At other times of the year, the Georgia Lions Camp's properties are used in a way that directly or indirectly serves the visually impaired and helps to support the primary mission of recreational opportunities. The Board of Directors of the Georgia Lions Camp work hard to ensure that the property entrusted to them is used to its fullest potential. Their mission is to provide a unique recreational experience to the visually impaired of Georgia and the surrounding states, which they do by using the property for other purposes that support their primary mission.
