Non-denominational Christian overnight camp on a 60-acre site at the edge of the Cherokee National Forest near Tellico Plains, with a seven-acre lake and a chapel. Campers swim, use rope swings, canoe and hike, and the week is built around chapel, Bible study and daily devotions. Sessions run Sunday to Friday and are grouped by grade, including Primary, Intermediate (5th-6th), Junior High (7th-8th) and High School weeks, plus higher-priced Adventure weeks; a regular week runs about $270 and an adventure week about $360. The camp was founded by the Smoky Mountain Christian Men's Fellowship, which bought the site in 1976, and rents the campus to church and family groups the rest of the year.

★★★★★Michael McMillanFor 3 years my girls have been going to this camp, and they are excited about it from the moment they get home till they leave again next year. If you have kids from 4th to senior this camp is a must as it will change their lives in so many ways.
★Soul HunterTerrible place, alcohol smells stuff works with kids. I asked to parking there, I said I would pay for it, the guy told me he doesn’t want foreign people here, and he is busy, but the whole parking area was full empty. I am a Christian but I never going back here. I wish to give them zero because 1 star is over rated. I made a video around this area, I mentioned this place and the alcohol smell. I don’t know how can they work with kids on the Zip line.

★★★★★Ellisyn Van RoekelI loved this camp! It was so fun and adventurous! The staff were very kind and supportive! It's definitely a place where you can connect with God!
★★★★★Michael McMillanSeriously the best sleep away camp in Tennessee! We have been sending our girls for two years and always blown away by how much fun our girls have, and how their faith grows from going. This is a camp that most don’t know about and usually has last minute spots open that I always tell Parents to take if you can!
