Summer Day Camp
Deer Run has been voted one of the BEST day camps by parents!
Age 5 to completed grade 6
Day campers are in small groups by age/grade
Younger campers have a better camp experience if they have been involved in a preschool environment before attending camp.
During June and July, “The Valley” comes alive with summer camps. Campers participate in outdoor adventures, unplug from their electronics, and connect with each other. Although campers are tired at the end of day, they don’t want to leave … and they want to come back again and again because of the relationships and community they find at Deer Run.
Deer Run makes it a priority for camp staff to actively engage each camper and create a fun and safe environment. Counselors and staff are the heart of Deer Run and a large part of what makes your child’s experience so amazing. They genuinely love spending time with campers. They listen with understanding and get to know each camper, encourage them, and provide them with positive role models. In fact, many campers are greeted by name year after year by returning counselors.
Bus transportation is available from 9 area locations: Brentwood/South Nashville, Franklin/Spring Hill, and Murfreesboro.

"Townes will be coming back to day camp for another week and he can’t wait! It’s his favorite camp of the summer!"
"[My son] has not had as much religion as we would like in his life up until this point because of his autism. He cannot pay attention to things for long and has a much lower than average understanding when we do try to explain things to him. God has been a big missing piece. Yesterday on his way home, he asked me “What is God?” and later asked, “What is a Bible book?” I was overjoyed! Please tell his counselor this great news…"
"Emmett loved camp so much after day 1 that he’ll be coming back next week!"
