Glisson Day Camp @ Johns Creek UMC
Glisson has been offering quality camp ministry programming at its location just north of Dahlonega for 85 years. In the Summer of ’08 Glisson developed the Day Camp program to make the same quality camping experience available to even more youth--in this case, children in the Johns Creek area. Our hope is that this program will be a traveling version of the fun and growth campers have experienced at our Dahlonega site for decades now.
The Day Camp ministry is a partnership with Johns Creek United Methodist church that connects Glisson’s wealth of camping experience with a fellowship of Christian people who know your community. Our experienced camp staff, trained day camp counselors, and American Camp Association-accredited program offer new and exciting possibilities for personal and spiritual growth. In addition to the directors and counselors provided by Glisson, Day Camp will be supported by volunteer members of the Johns Creek UMC congregation.
What Happens at Day Camp
Campers will be placed in small groups led by trained counselors for their week at day camp. These groups will plan their own activities and also participate in whole-group activities that will include:
- group games
- arts & crafts
- nature exploration
- archery (rising 4th - 6th)
- belayed tree climbing (rising 4th - 6th)
- singing, worship and devotion time each day
- swim and creek hike one day at Glisson
