ABOUT DEER RUN
We created Deer Run Summer Camps & Retreats near Nashville TN as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-denominational Christian ministry to host homeschool day camps, family camps, married-couple romance weekends, father-son adventure weekends, mother-daughter weekends, and day/overnight summer camps. We also serve as a year-round retreat center where we plan completely custom retreats for church & business groups alike. Our camp is even available for school age groups to host a Birthday Party at or learn Outdoor Education skills.
HISTORY OF DEER RUN
Founded in 1998 by David and Liz Gibson, Deer Run Camps & Retreats has followed God’s plan from the beginning. During the Gibson’s 15th year of marriage, while they were in their mid-30s, David and Liz believed God was calling them to do something far more significant with their lives. With two years of steadfast prayer, it was affirmed that God wanted the Gibson’s to open a retreat center and summer camp ministry near Nashville Tennessee. Later on, on one August Sunday morning in 1996, David walked the property and was given a clear vision from God in regards to what His plan was for Deer Run and the property it resides upon. The property had been sitting dormant for more than 15 years; it is dormant no longer. God’s presence is strong at Deer Run. At Deer Run you will experience a deep connection with others and with God, as well as create long-lasting relationships with the people you meet during your stay. At Deer Run, God changes lives. You truly will experience the meaning of our motto, “Deeper Faith. Greater Adventures.”
SCHOLARSHIPS

"My church's youth group went here on spring break. This place will change your life."
"A hidden treasure — right outside of the city, yet you feel hundreds of miles removed. There are so many activities & options for children (& families, couples, etc) to do at the camp. Also, very clean and well manicured."
