Our mission invites all people to experience a transformation of mind, body, and spirit as they engage in a community of faith, recognizing grace through our transcendent God, and seeking greater understanding of themselves, others, and the environment. Offer informative programs and safe activities designed to stimulate creativity, inspire thought, and value God's creation.
Ours is a tradition of small group camping with a big group plan. We encourage campers to embark on a journey of the mind, body and spirit. It's a journey that requires a knapsack that we supply with independence, self-reliance, curiosity, creativity, and faith. We learn to work, play, sing, and worship together.

Summer Camp
Report
Since 1959, Holston has conducted an "experiment in an outdoor Christian community." The goal is to offer youth the opportunity to seek God while building nurturing relationships and having fun outdoors. We encourage campers to "unplug" for the week and listen to the sounds of the wind in the trees, the mountain birds, and the rushing creek.
Boomers Day Camp Grade 1-8
Report
Holston Bummer Day Camp is the place for friends, fun, and faith. All Day Campers are exposed to many of the same summer camp activities as the resident campers: swimming, canoeing, archery, zip-lines, rock climbing, hiking, morning worship, and field games. We employ and train college-age counselors to provide guidance and care for our kids.
Camp Activities
Report
Since it's inception, Holston has specialized in small-group, family-style camping. Because our summer camps are typically smaller than most, campers and staff form intimate relationships with one another and God. We take time to talk and listen to each other and creation. We also take time to listen for God's voice during our worship service and while we stand in awe of God's beautiful creation here at summer camp.

Our desire is to minister to children and families by offering financial assistance to offset a portion of the tuition. Grant assistance is limited and awarded based on a variety of factors, including annual household income, number of children in the home, extenuating circumstances and previous scholarship assistance received.
