WATCH | SC State Parks is partnering with Coach Buddy Pough and Black Folks Camp Too to encourage more unity in the outdoors

Columbia, S.C. – Celebrated head football coach of the South Carolina State Bulldogs and native South Carolinian, Oliver “Buddy” Pough, wants to invite everyone to experience South Carolina State Parks. 

After camping in South Carolina’s state parks for the first time in 2020, Coach Pough has become an advocate for the physical and mental health benefits that come from spending time in these treasured outdoor spaces. He is using his platform as a well-known and respected South Carolina icon to help encourage others who are new to parks to give them a try. 

"As a life-long South Carolinian, I enjoy South Carolina State Parks because they offer rest, relaxation, tons of amenities, and adventure,” said Coach Pough. “My hope is that more South Carolinians – and beyond – will visit our amazing parks because they have so much to offer!”

Coach Pough Knows…Reservations, RVing, Tents, Hiking, Biking, Boating, Leave No Trace, Fishing, Campfires and the Unity Blaze!
