ARTEMIS GEORGIA UPCOMING EVENTS

AUGUST 2026

August 12, 7pm, Virtual

If you think swamps are stinky, scary, and full of things that can eat you, this fireside chat is for you. Discover the Okefenokee Swamp, where alligators silently glide through the Coca-Cola-colored water, where herons and egrets stand like statues patiently waiting for their next meal to swim by, where moss-drapped cypress loom majestically above the floating waterlilies. Joy Campbell has been exploring The Swamp for over 40 years. Join her for a virtual tour of one of the most magnificent places on the planet. And, we’ll explore opportunities for future Artemis trips to the swamp!
