Village Camp
Village is a traditional residential (sleep away) camp at the heart of Glisson’s ministry. Over 250 campers come to Village each week during the summer. Below is a detailed description of what a camper experiences during a week at Village.
| On arrival, campers are welcomed by their counselors into their “Living Group” – typically 12 campers and 2 counselors who plan and experience their week together. Campers help their counselors plan a few of their week's activities. This small group camp experience supports Glisson’s goal of creating Christian community for our campers. As one camper put it, “Camp Glisson is a place I can be myself and know that people will accept me and love me." To get a taste of the Village experience, view the video to the right. |

Five Distinct Programs
There are four main Village programs for campers of different grade levels. Mini Camp is for elementary campers who want to try a two-night experience. Elementary, Middle and Senior High programs are all week-long camp experiences. Each of these programs has its own schedule. Even the Elementary and Middle school programs, on site at the same time during the same weeks, have independent schedules. We also have Two-Week camps available for our Middle School campers. This program enables middle school campers to be at camp longer and have a broader range of camp experiences.
