Thank you for expressing your concerns about Florida State Parks. It is a valid issue. Friends of Florida State Parks is an umbrella organization but you can specify that your donations go to a particular park. Many of the parks do have "Friends" groups (I am the president of one)who try to assist the park staff in getting needed resources. The parks are expected to be self-supporting and some are. If you see a need that you can address, let the park manager know. There are many ways to volunteer other than camp hosting. An excellent way to help the parks is to fill out the visitor survey forms. lizzie
