Truett Tradition
Investing in Youth since 1953
Truett was founded to give kids a place to experience God in the great outdoors. A week of summer camp helps kids draw closer to God:
- Points them to the Gospel of Jesus Christ
- Challenges them to push outside their comfort zone
- Encourages their faith
- Connects them with others
- Encourages an interest in missionaries
- Great recreation helps students learn the value of play

FAQs
When is check-in and pick-up?
Check-in is Sunday from 3:00-5:00 PM. Camp will end by mid-morning on Wednesday.
Do we get to bring our own chaperones?
No need! Parents can drop off their children or a children’s ministry leader can bring them all from one church. Either way, our staff will provide care for the duration of the camp.
Church ministry leaders can elect to stay on property and participate without the burden of needing to function as a chaperone.
What are the accommodations like?
We have excellent bunkhouses with two private bathrooms per bunkhouse, mini-split HVAC units, thick inner-spring mattresses, and carpeted rooms with tiled bathrooms. The rooms have 12-16 beds per room.
What steps are taken to ensure safety?
All staff and volunteers undergo a background check. During staff training, counselors are trained in basic first aid and situational awareness to prevent incidents. The camp has volunteer medical professionals who manage medication and camper wellness. Staff are trained to facilitate recreation. Any water activities are supervised by American Red Cross certified lifeguards. Also, the camp is inspected on an annual basis. Since 2020 Truett has received a 100 health and safety rating from the NC Department of Health & Safety.
What should we bring to camp?
Campers should bring their own bedding (twin-sized bunks), toiletries, clothes, and Bible.
If they have any medication, whether over the counter or prescription, they must turn those in at check-in in a 1-gallon Ziploc bag with the camper’s name clearly labeled.
We highly recommend bringing two pairs of shoes, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, and clothes that are suitable for work projects (which could include painting, landscaping, etc.).
For the white water rafting trip we recommend sandals with a heel strap, swimwear, a towel, and a small bag with a change of clothes.
Can my child be successful at camp if they have a developmental disability?
We love ministering to as many campers as possible. We do have limits on our capabilities though. Our staff are not specifically trained to be caretakers. The steep terrain on the camp property can also be difficult to navigate. If a child is interested in attending camp, who may require special accommodations, please contact us before registration. We encourage parents to have a conversation with the Summer Camp Coordinator to see if the individual can have a positive experience.
