Deer Run Camps & Retreats

Day and Overnight.

Deeper Faith. Stronger Relationships. Greater Adventures.

Voted #1 by parents! Deer Run has premier Day and Overnight on 150 beautiful, private wooded acres of Tennessee rolling hills where campers and families discover strengths, complete challenges, and create life-long memories while having fun, being adventurous, unplugging, and connecting with each other.

Deer Run makes it a priority for camp staff to actively engage each camper and create a fun and safe environment. Counselors and staff are the heart of Deer Run and a large part of what makes your child's experience so amazing. They genuinely love spending time with campers. They listen with understanding and get to know each camper, encourage them, and provide them with positive role models. In fact, many campers are greeted by name year after year by returning counselors.

Campers want to come back again and again because of the community they experience at Deer Run.

Traditional camp. Christian nondenominational.
