If these efforts don't work we will call you and allow you and your child to make the decision. We and the child benefit in no way from them being here when they aren't able to enjoy camp. (maybe next year) Do you have any advice to emotionally prepare for camp? Realize this is more than a week of camp, this is a time for them to experience something new and exciting for themselves. Don't say things like "now if you get homesick you just call me and I'll come get you" — we are going to call you if they get homesick and let you guys work that out. Trust that we have been doing this since 1961. We are going to do our best to help them have a wonderful life changing experience.
The 210 acre property has scenic hiking trails and waterfront access to a beautiful lake. We have horseback riding and a large indoor gymnasium. Beautiful open air tabernacle with all your wiring for media and instrument needs. We have large field areas for all your fun outdoor games.
In 1961, while pastoring Calvary Baptist Church in Athens, Georgia, Rev. James W. Brock Sr., along with his wife Frances, felt God's calling to begin a special ministry. It began as a two week Bible camp by renting a portion of the land where the camp now stands. Since 1961, thousands of young people have accepted the Lord as their personal Savior. The mission of Camp Maranatha is threefold: to win the lost to Christ, to disciple Christians, and to provide Christian fellowship.

This is the foundation for the camp's mission of preparing people for the Lord's return. Everyone who comes to camp has the opportunity to hear the Good News that Jesus Christ died on the cross for their sins.

Yes — you will need to stay together as a group in the registration line. History has shown us that "grouping" may not always work out. Have a frank conversation with the group about behavior and respect. If we have issues with the group during the week we will separate them and send home if need be.

As with any animal, you can never count out an incident but we work diligently to see our horses are as safe as possible. Your child will spend their first day of horse activity inside the corral only — this is to ensure they are comfortable on the back of a horse. The following days they will ride trails by a designated schedule.

Read more on the camp’s website ↗Can I talk to my child while at camp? Emergency phone calls only. How will I know if my child is ok? We will call you with any concern we have. We respect the relationship and trust given us and have no desire to violate that relationship. Can I come visit my child? No — once children see their parents they are reminded of home and leave. Can I send mail? Yes, no food items — food is not allowed in the cabins due to ants. Other mail is encouraged.
