★★★★★Alini JordanMy son's only complaint is that it is not longer. He wishes it was 2 weeks instead of one. It is the best. He loves every minute of it. I feel at ease knowing he is in a safe place, learning new things and deepening his relationship with Jesus. We live in GA and drive 2hrs to and from camp, and is so worth it. Thank you camp Marannook !
★★★★★Julie ClarkTwo of my children have been to Camp Maranook and love it! They would stay all summer if that was an option. This will be my son’s third summer and he can’t wait! The focus on Jesus in everything hits the nail on the head. We were made for His glory! Maranook points the campers and counselors to knowing and following Jesus more while having a blast!
★★★★★Elizabeth HildrethMarannook is hard to put into words, because there is nothing like it. The heart of Marannook is "to know Christ and make Him known" and every aspect is tailored to it. It is more than a camp for children, more than a training ground for students, more than a summer experience. I served as a college student on training staff the summer of 2014 and was awestruck at the depth of community, the intense Gospel-centered perspective, and the way the Lord drastically used that summer to sanctify me. To the parents considering sending their children to camp, it is well worth it. To the students considering serving for a summer, I'm convinced there is no better way to spend your time.
★★★★★Elizabeth WilliamsMarannook has been a huge part of my life for the last 12 years. The experiences I've had as camper, support staff, counselor, and program staff have all changed my life in amazing ways and have led me to grow closer to the Lord. If you have the opportunity to be a part of this camp, do not pass it up. You will not regret it.
★★★★★St. Andrews Children's Ministry DirectorMarannook offers a wonderful summer camping experience for children in elementary and middle school. Great outdoor activities such as ropes courses, fishing, camping, archery and many more! I have known numerous children who have spent many summers enjoying an unbelievable week or two of fun and games each year. I highly recommend Marannook to anyone looking for a camp for families with young children. Older students in high school and college will benefit from coming there to work during the summer months as well.
