The Friends of Camp Helen are excited to announce the opening of their pumpkin patch Saturday, October 1 at 9 am. Pumpkins will be sold 7 days a week, from 9 am-5 pm through October 31 or until sold out.

This year, Saturdays in the Patch will feature live music, Bay County Storytellers, PCB Mosquito, cake walks inside the historic Lodge, and more.

On October 1, they will hold a raffle for a 3 night stay in a property managed by 30A Beach Girls to kick off our new weekly raffles.  Other prized include a bicycle from Good Pedals, a basket from Blue Giraffe and more!

Food will be available for purchase in the park on Saturdays as well.

Saturday, October 22 is a special evening with a movie after dark (Hocus Pocus) FREE to the public. The pumpkin patch will close at 5pm and we will reopen the parking lot at 5:45 for the showing of “Hocus Pocus”. The movie begins after sunset (around 6:30). Bring your own blankets and chairs.
