Deer Run Camps & Retreats ~ Deeper Faith. Greater Adventures.

Summer Camp adventure for your kids and family can be found at Deer Run — located on 100 wooded acres ten miles southwest of downtown Franklin. Because Deer Run is a traditional camp without the distractions of technology, campers can focus on relationships, physical activity and challenges while having fun. The staff-to-camper ratio is lower than required standards enabling closer relationships with the counselors and other campers plus a better camper experience.

Large groups: games, cardboard boat regatta race, worship and dynamic, challenging speaker each night.
