Testimonials

As the new year approaches, we here at Camp Gailor Maxon know that families are exploring their summer options - shopping around for which camp fits their needs. It is our hope that this blog provides insight into the world of CGM, showing the mission of our camp and how it is carried out in daily life.

Camp Gailor Maxon has always strived to be a Christian camp, first and foremost. Everything that we do surrounds the mission of enriching the lives of our youth in the state of Tennessee through a Christ-filled community of campers. We have a chapel program with a different theme each summer - these have ranged from the study of the book of Exodus to the Prodigal Son to Sainthood.

In addition to our chapel program, Camp Gailor Maxon is blessed to be located in the beautiful Cumberland Plateau. We utilize our setting and take in God's beauty each day with various activities that the campers can choose for their afternoon activity. We offer activities for each camper's need: arts and crafts, drama, pool, sports and games, hiking, rappelling, and rock climbing to name a few. In addition, CGM traditionally takes a day excursion with the older camps. We have gone canoeing or white water rafting on the Ocoee in the past.

Recently a conversation on Facebook was started about the impact of CGM on our campers' lives. I wanted to share some of the thoughts on this blog:

Josh says:

Being a former camper and one year staff member of CGM i learned so much about life and the love of christ what he had to offer i made life friends through CGM and cherish all the memories CGM had to offer.

Cami says:

Camp Gailor Maxon has meant so much to my children. I know I speak for several parents who would agree.

Nino says:

This camp is so important to the youth of Tennessee. The friends my children made there years ago are still among the closest they have. And the memories are the fondest. A mother recently was bemoaning the fact that her children would never be able to attend camp because it was cost prohibitive. I told her to look into Gailor Maxon for many reasons. The pre-camp was one of the highlights for my grandchildren.
