100 Years of Camp Glisson

United Methodist Camp Glisson in North Georgia is celebrating 100 years of woods, worship and hikes to the waterfall. To mark a century of church camp, Glisson is hosting reunions throughout 2025. Campers can come back, connect with friends and sing all the old favorite camp songs again.
