Deer Run: Stories from Summer Camp

Working at Deer Run Camps & Retreats is more than a summer job — it’s an opportunity to make a difference. In this video, members of our summer staff share what makes Deer Run special from their perspective: the friendships formed, the personal and spiritual growth, and the joy of serving campers in a Christ-centered community.

Staff talk about their favorite moments from the summer, the impact of mentoring kids and teens, and how stepping away from distractions allowed them to be fully present with campers and with God. Surrounded by 150 acres of Tennessee woods, they found a place where they could lead, grow, worship, laugh, work hard, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes Deer Run such a meaningful place for campers and staff alike, this behind-the-scenes look shares the heart of our mission and the people who bring it to life.
