The Women’s Camping Weekend commemorates the anniversary of the Combahee Ferry Raid. “On June 2, 1863, Harriet Tubman, under the command of Union Colonel James Montgomery, became the first woman to lead a major military operation in the United States when she and 150 African American Union soldiers rescued more than 700 slaves in the Combahee Ferry Raid during the Civil War.” This weekend event is designed for women to experience nature and outdoor recreation with like-minded ladies in a non-competitive environment. It will also serve as a reminder of the women who served in the Beaufort District during the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era to aid the war effort, abolish slavery, support freed and contraband Blacks and as teachers, nurses, laundresses, and cooks. These women include Harriet Tubman abolitionist, conductor of the Underground RailRoad, Union Army Civilian attache’, Dr. Esther Hill Hawks medical doctor, teacher, Rachel C. Mather founder of the Mather School for Negro Girls, Susie Baker King teacher, laundress, nurse, Charlotte Forten Grimke’ teacher, journalist, hospital volunteer, Laura M. Towne and Ellen Murray were founders of the Penn School.

The Women’s Camping Weekend event provides an opportunity for women to become more comfortable in the outdoors, participate in recreational activities, and discover ways to protect and create more natural spaces. Hiking, kayaking and a wildlife field trip are a few of the activities for the weekend.
