The Truett Tradition
Truett has been operating since 1953 as a summer camp. The foundation has remained the same since then: Biblical truth, opportunities for fun, and a strong community. With a new leadership team starting in 2019, Truett has built upon this foundation by adding many exciting recreation options, friendly and well-trained staff, and an emphasis on being in God’s creation. We have also recommitted to connecting young people to God through His Word.
We have a great location in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We’re located only two hours from Atlanta, Asheville, Chattanooga, and more! This gives us a great environment for recreation and connecting with God through His creation.
No matter which camp you choose, campers will get a chance to make more friends, experience new activities, grow closer to the King of Kings, and unplug from technology. These attributes all make camp an absolute blast!
At Truett it’s about more than just fun; it’s character building. Meal times, recreation, Bible study, and worship are all done with a greater purpose in mind: to foster today’s youth in a way that they become stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually. hundreds of lives are changed every summer!

Amazing Recreation
This is some of the great recreation available at Truett, led by trained instructors. ***Some activities are limited by age.***
ARCHERY
Learn how to safely handle our Genesis compound bows. This is an incredibly satisfying activity for campers of any skill level as improvement often happens quickly and is easily visible.
GA GA BALL
Also known as Octoball, this game has swept across the nation at schools and camps over the past decade. It’s a mixture between four square and dodgeball played inside a three-foot-tall walled octagon. May the best camper win!
AIR RIFLES
Gun safety is heavily emphasized as campers learn target shooting with equipment well suited to their ages. Younger campers will use BB guns while teens get their hands on pellet rifles.
ZIPLINE
One of our most popular activities! We have two parallel ziplines at 300′ long, and campers get to enjoy every foot of that as they fly through the air.
TOMAHAWK THROWING
Enjoy this sport that has boomed in popularity over the past decade. Few things at camp are more satisfying than sticking a tomahawk into the bullseye.
WATER ACTIVITIES
Summer is the perfect time to have fun with water! There will be nearly daily opportunities to splash and play. We have an excellent swimming pool, slip-n-slide, and many of our field games may involve water activities as well.
KAYAKING
Kayakers will learn the proper techniques and safety practices through fun and challenging games that encourage individual skill development.
BIKING
We have over a dozen mountain bikes that allow us to take interested teens to nearby Jackrabbit Mountain, a perfect place for beginners to experience this adrenaline-inducing activity for the first time. Experienced mountain bikers will get a chance to show off their skills as well.
