Camp Geechee Nears Final Hours of Kickstarter Campaign

A cultural storytelling project inspired by Gullah Geechee heritage is in its final stretch on Kickstarter—and it’s gaining momentum.

Camp Geechee, a manga-style comic rooted in African American folklore and Lowcountry tradition, has raised over $6,500 and is currently 43% funded, with just 48 hours left in its campaign. Organizers are making a final push to reach their fundraising goal, calling on supporters to help bring the project to life.

The comic is more than just a creative work—it’s designed as a cultural movement that blends traditional storytelling with modern visual styles to engage younger audiences. According to the project creators, Camp Geechee draws from the rich oral history of the Gullah Geechee people, using fantasy and folklore elements to preserve and pass down cultural knowledge.

The Kickstarter campaign highlights the project’s broader mission: to empower underrepresented voices, celebrate heritage, and introduce Gullah Geechee culture to a new generation through art and storytelling.

Backers can contribute at various levels, with even small donations making an impact. The team is also encouraging people to share the campaign within their networks to help spread awareness.
