| The ministry of North Georgia Christian Camp began in 1966 when a few men became aware of the need for a specific ministry to the youth of this area. They envisioned a summer | |
|
program where youth could come together
for the purpose of learning about Jesus Christ and His great
gift of abundant life. In June of that summer, the first camp was
held at Unicoi State Park. The two week program was a great
success. Over the next four years the camp ministry
continued to grow, meeting at various places. In 1971 a
devoted Christian woman, Lora Kiss, donated 43 acres to be
used as a permanent Christian camp facility. The camp buildings were erected and completed in late summer of 1972. The first camp season on the new campgrounds of North Georgia Christian Camp was held that August. Since 1972 the camp has flourished. The camp currently provides 12 summer camping events, as well as fall and spring retreats for all ages. Over the years renovations have been made and new structures have been added. |

The
summer camp ministry now reaches over 700 children, ranging
from Kindergarten to 12th grade. The camp ministry has
expanded to include opportunities for everyone, year round.
However, the objective has never changed. This camp
exists to teach about Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, in
Whom we have life everlasting. The camp is owned and supported by 28 Christian Churches ranging from middle Georgia to Franklin, NC. These churches |
|
|
donate their time, talents, and money so the camp can continue to advance for the Kingdom of God. The curriculum is Bible-based, and New Testament Christianity is the foundation of our teaching. Each season our teachers come from the supporting churches to help young people and adults develop their spiritual, social and physical |
|
The camp is also supported by donations from generous individuals and families who believe in this ministry. If you would like to partner with us in this way, please contact the camp office at 706/754-4513.
