★★★★★KendraCamp Galilee is an amazing summer camp! The volunteers and staff make such a great impact on the kids. They care so much and work so hard. My child has been coming to this camp for a couple of years now. She loves it and looks forward to it every year. It’s definitely a great place for kids to know about Jesus!
★★★★★Crystal DunhamMy mom, Emma Lake, has a garden in her honor at Camp Galilee. She was a lovely, Christian lady that loved life and her gardens at her home in Vassar, Michigan. Matter of fact she taught me about God and gardens. I am a Horticulturist and made Agriculture my life, showing God grows everywhere.
★★★★★Uncle Dave LewisThe directors, Mark and Melissa, are super kind, caring, and compassionate. Beautifu Christian camp!
★★★★★Steven HurstA great place run be great people. I've been truly blessed to experience the peace, love and serenity at Camp Galilee. The directors are true examples of what good Christians are supposed to be. Through leadership and instruction, they are very passionate about walking with others down the path to salvation in God's grace. They welcome all Christians and don't get caught up on doctrinal differences, considering themselves 'non-denominational' they instead focus on living a life through Christ and bringing his teachings to others. For their summer camps the children get to experience the best of the best. They have a 250ft waterslide that goes down into the lake, horseback riding and much, much more. Taking full advantage of the lake, the kids also get to enjoy canoes, kayaks and riding a tube pulled by jet ski. There's even a giant inflatable trampoline on the water. The locals who live on the lake can only dream about having so much fun in their backyards. These are just some of the many activities that make Camp Galilee the most enjoyable and memorable experience for campers. Besides the fun, the campers are also well fed with good food, daily scripture study, sermons and worship nightly in the on-site chapel. Outside of summer camp programs the camp also rents out their cabins, rooms, facilities and everything else to groups who want to enjoy the best place to be in Tennessee. Words cannot do Camp Galilee justice. You won't find a better experience for children (or adults) in this life.
★★★★★Sara BerryMy granddaughters love going to camp here. It's a great place to find God!
