The Discussion Forum is an opportunity to ask questions and offer comments regarding the Salkehatchie Huntersville Camp. Anyone can view the list of topics and their respective comments. However, only individuals with a valid USERID and PASSWORD can add topics or leave comments.

Creating a Discussion Topic

If you are logged in and on the Discussion Forum page you will see the following button:


Clicking on this button will give you access to a menu that allows you to add your own discussion topic. A discussion topic could be anything that you're interested in related to the Salkehatchie Huntersville Camp. You might be interested in why people are coming to Salkehatchie, what they enjoyed about the last camp or improvements they'd like to see in the camp. You might want to ask a specific question of the camp director regarding a topic others might be interested in. It's really up to you.

When you create a topic everyone will be able to see who created the topic and the date and time it was created. To actually create a topic you must include a one-line "Subject" that describes what it is you're interested in. You must also create a "Message" which further provides additional information regarding your "Subject". Both of these fields must be filled in.
