Secession Camp 4 Projects

The Confederate Heritage Ride is one of Secession Camp's newest project. The event raises awareness by teaching participants Confederate History.


Secession Camp members have given thousands of hours their personal time in volunteer service to the Friends of the Hunley, and helped with the arrangements for the Hunley crew funerals.


The SC Department of Natural resources and Secession Camp 4 have teamed up to make Ft. Lamar Heritage Preserve Site preserve look more like it should. Camp members are taking part in major cleanup of the property and plan on removing some vegetation that will make the site look more pristine. A new fence is planned for the entrance to the site and plans are being worked drawn up to install a survey platform to allow visitors to the fort to look over the embankments without walking on them. Members recently removed a large shed from the fort. The shed was built about 25 years ago by the previous owner of the property.
 

Members of Secession Camp are active in the South Carolina Division Guardian program in which members locate and agree to maintain the graves of Confederate soldiers.  Currently 11 compatriots are Guardians.
 

Secession Camp has four representatives in the Confederate Heritage Trust, an organization deeply involved in Southern heritage issues.  Our representatives are:

           Randy Burbage,   Wayne Dukes,   Gene Patrick,   Elmore Marlowe

Members clean the St. Peter's Episcopal Church Cemetery located on Logan Street in Historic Charleston, SC. The small cemetery is the final resting place of 2 confirmed Confederate Soldiers. The names of several others interred in the cemetery are currently under research to see if they are Confederate Heroes.
