Camp Discovery Hosts Butterfly Festival

Explore the world of butterflies! Camp Discovery will host its Blythewood Butterfly Festival at Doko Meadows Park, in Blythewood, on Saturday, May 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lots of fun for the entire family, the event is designed to honor one of nature’s most beautiful pollinators: the butterfly!

Event attendees will be able to feed and enjoy the beauty of six different species of butterflies. Other festival activities and attractions include a caterpillar petting zoo; a live butterfly release; a children's pollinator parade; a family photo station; butterfly face painting; food and music; and much more! Local artisans and vendors will also be on-site. All proceeds from the event benefit the education programs at Camp Discovery.

Cost: Free to enter. Butterfly experience: $8 per person; 2 and under, free. Location: Doko Meadows Park, 100 Alvina Hagood Cir., Blythewood. For more information, call 803-754-2008 or visit CampDiscoverySC.org.
