Week Four: Our Community

Song of the Week: Georgia on My Mind by Ray Charles

Camp Yona is located in the quaint little community of Crawfordville, Georgia. This week we highlighted our town and a few of it's Hot Spots.

Downtown Crawfordville. Population 572.

Crawfordville is known as the movie capital of Georgia. Several scenes from Sweet Home Alabama, starring Reese Witherspoon, were filmed downtown.

Alexander H. Stephens, who served as a U.S. Congressman, Governor of Georgia, and as Vice President of the Confederate States of America, called Crawfordville home. His home is now a museum and part of A.H. Stephens State Park.

Hungry? If you're ever looking for a good meal in Crawfordville, you must stop by Heavy's. It's a local favorite, and has amazing BBQ.

Margaret's Grove Baptist Church is located across the street from Camp. The church once owned our property.

Got Milk? Our neighbors do!!! Williams Dairy is operated by Wayne and Pet Williams. We're so lucky to have them next door.

Camp Yona is located in the heart of Georgia's lake country. Lake Oconee, the second largest lake in Georgia, is close by and we will use the lake for several of our water activities.
