Impacting the Kingdom through Deer Run
Join Us for One of Our Annual Events
Opportunities to Impact Kingdom Growth through Deer Run
Your support helps ensure continued expansion of our mission to provide excellent camps and retreats that inspire a transformational relationship with Jesus Christ and strengthen relationships with family and friends.
With the continued growth in Middle Tennessee, most of our camp sessions have filled up quickly with many families on waiting lists for the past two summers. There is a great need for us to add more cabins, facilities, and recreation to serve our community well.
This is the largest opportunity God has given us in our 25-year history, and we want to continue to inspire revival, equip the next generation to become strong Christian leaders, and encourage children, youth and families to go out into the world and share Christ-like love with others.

DONATIONS TO CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS
We ask you to consider your most generous donation to the Deer Run MISSION 42:1 Camp Scholarship Fund which provides a week-long summer camp or parent-child weekend for campers and families who otherwise would not be able to attend because of financial needs or who need emotional support due to a crisis such as the death of a parent or an imprisoned parent.
All donations are tax-deductible and go directly to the Camper Scholarship Fund. No donation is too small or large but we do ask you to consider a minimum donation of $100.
Event shirts and caps will be available for $25 each. All funds go to camper scholarships.
If you aren’t able to attend, but want to give to the scholarship fund, you can donate here.

Make an Impact for Christ through the Growing Ministry of Deer Run
God is moving in powerful ways at Deer Run. This summer we shared the gospel of Christ with just over 3,600 campers. And many responded to that message in life-changing ways — 157 made a profession of faith, 197 were baptized in Spring Valley Lake, and 66 recommitted their lives to Christ.
Our annual Vision Dinner is a time to celebrate all that God has done over the past 25 years through the ministry of Deer Run and to be inspired as our founders share their vision for growth over the next 5 years.
This year, we are offering two date options for you to be a part of this amazing celebration. We invite you to come and discover how you can make an impact for Christ through the growth and expansion of Deer Run. You will hear from individuals impacted by the fun, adventure, and Christ-centered ministry of Deer Run as well as our leaders and founders.
Ben and Josh Calhoun of CITIZEN WAY will be our special musical guests, sharing their top CCM hits, and why Deer Run means so much to them.
If you have questions, contact Jenny Dyer at JennyD@DeerRun.camp.

Camp Experiences
"From the photos, it looks like [our son] is having a blast. He is getting baptized today during the ending ceremony of Session 4. I can't even begin to express the gratitude to y'all for leading him to this amazing life decision."
"Everything was excellent and well executed. This was our first time and the camp is so beautiful and y'all are so well organized."
"This camp has done wonders for [our foster daughter] mentally. She is smiling in every picture and having fun instead of carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. I appreciate you all so much. Just know your staff are changing this little girl's life."
