North Georgia Camp and Retreat Ministries, INC

Nestled in the forests surrounding Cane Creek Falls, North Georgia Camp and Retreat Ministries is revered by many as a sacred site. While NGCRM's natural setting is inspiring, the true magic of NGCRM resides in its legacy as a place for transformation, growth and renewal. On any given day at NGCRM, young people may experience the exhilaration of sleeping out under the stars or kayaking down the Etowah River, inspiring awe of God's creation;the serenity of standing shoulder to shoulder with peers in the Chapel and raising voices together to sing a familiar song with newfound feeling;the risk of sharing doubts and hopes with new friends and the affirmation of having those thoughts heard and accepted;the satisfaction of completing a challenge course or riding a zip line, losing themselves in the fun of camp and building self-confidence along the way. The transformative impact of NGCRM lies in the experiences it provides for direct connection with Creation and Christian community. By stepping outside the patterns of their daily life and practicing new skills and self-awareness, children take key steps toward becoming Christian leaders.
