Some friendships last a lifetime.

Others grow into something even more meaningful. Ralph, Ryan, and Joseph spent their childhood summers at Camp Kingfisher, exploring the Chattahoochee River, learning new skills, and becoming inseparable friends along the way. This summer, they returned to camp in a new role: Leaders in Training (LITs). The boys who once looked up to their counselors were now helping younger campers discover the same joy, friendship, and sense of belonging they experienced growing up. From racing to the canoes at Heron Pond to leading games and making campers laugh, they've come full circle. The place that gave them so many memories is now giving them the chance to create those memories for someone else. Their story is just one of many that begin at Chattahoochee Nature Center. Your support helps make moments of discovery, friendship, and connection possible across our trails, through wildlife encounters, and in programs for all ages. Help more stories begin. Consider making a gift today to support Chattahoochee Nature Center and the experiences that stay with us for years to come. 💚🌿
