Camp Gailor-Maxon Details

Activities

At Camp Gailor-Maxon, campers enjoy games, crafts, songs, sports, programs, worship and general silliness during the day. Afternoon activities include hikes in the nearby South Cumberland State Park, Swimming, Rappelling, Water Games, Drama, Music, Arts & Crafts, Field Games, Off-Campus trips to the University of the South at Sewanee, and a Day of Service, in which campers choose a service project to do. Evening activities may include: Bonfire, Trip to All Saints’ Chapel-Sewanee, Carnival/Dance, Counselor Hunt, Capture the Flag, Field Games, CGM Olympics, or Night Swim. Our programming focuses on helping kids explore their faith and experience living in their own Christian community.

Room & Board

Campers sleep bunk-style in cabins and eat hearty, home-style meals in the Dining Room in historic Claiborne Hall.

Staff

Our 2012 camp co-directors are Cameron Wallace Swallow and Kathryn Elam Jasper, both school teachers during the academic year. Our program staff is led by a full-time camp chaplain, usually an Episcopal Seminary student, and a clergy member-in-residence. College Students serve as cabin and activity counselors.
