A new book captures the essence of an old Lowcountry tradition. “Scattered around the South Carolina Sea Islands are camps that have become very special places to generations of families and friends in the Lowcountry. These camps are referred to as fish camps. Full of character and fairly remote, the camps are accessible only by water and, therefore, exclusive (as well as reclusive, if need be). These camps have been witness to so many life experiences and lessons that you can almost hear the memories whispering to you as you step from the boat to the dock…” Thus begins Janet Garrity’s beautiful new book, Goin’ Down the River: Fish Camps of the Sea Islands, 128 pages of stories, history and photos that capture the essence of an old Lowcountry tradition still quietly flourishing today.

September always catches this editor off guard. After a low key, easygoing summer – interrupted only by that fleeting burst of hysteria we call Water Festival – my inbox suddenly erupts with a flood of exuberant press releases vying for my immediate attention.
