Grow Day Camps

     Conference Day Camps
Since 1925, Glisson has offered small group, Christian camping programs based in Dahlonega. In 2008, the Day Camp program was launched to bring camp ministry to more people in more places throughout the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. Re-named for 2013, Grow Day Camps partner with children's ministries to bring the flavor of summer camp to the local church. Archery, nature study, belayed tree climbing (when available) and time in worship and study outside are all core to the experience. Activities contribute to learning new skills, appreciating God's creation, building Christian community and experiencing worship in new ways – all to support local congregations in nurturing Christian discipleship.
