WHY SMCC
Smoky Mountain Christian Camp is a great place where God does amazing things. The ministry strives to bring people into a relationship with Christ and send young people into Christian service to extend the kingdom of God. SMCC is dedicated to bringing each person into a closer walk with God. Smoky Mountain Christian Camp is committed to keeping the cost of summer camp and retreats as affordable as is attainable while still striving to offer as many opportunities and activities as possible. Our ministry is able to do much with little resources because of the volunteers who make camp possible. We stay affordable through Church giving and individual supporters. Smcc can continue to make improvements and do greater things that it already has with the help of more individuals. Join the the partnership of Christ and the blessing He had been to Smoky Mountain Christian Camp. Any gift is appreciated and helpful, whether it be $5 or $5000. Prayerfully consider supporting this foundation and join our team and ministry. We fully believe God will multiply your gifts abundantly beyond anything that can be imagined.
WE DID IT!
2025 OUR 50TH YEAR!
We can not believe that it has already been 50 years of camp ministry at SMCC! Will you join us in prayerfully celebrating the past, present, and future of SMCC! We set a goal of raising $50,000 aside from our operational budget as a way to make more significant upgrades to our facilities and how we operate as an organization, and guess what?!? Following our amazing banquet we raised a total of $69,000! God is so good and he has blessed us more than we asked or imagined. Thank you to all who partnered with us in prayer and or giving! We are so humbled to serve his kingdom as Smoky Mountain Christian Camp!
A huge part of that $69,000 was an anonymous donor who matched the first 25k that we raised! Thank you to you and your humble generosity.
​
Alongside that financial goal we also embarked on building a 5 year plan for SMCC that would encompass the mission of deepening relationships and widening the net that SMCC reaches. Here is the mission of that plan followed by our year 1 projects/goals!
​
Deeper and Wider: Our 5-Year Strategic Vision
Our next five years are focused on going deeper and wider—deepening our relationships with Christ and one another while widening our reach to share the Gospel with more people than ever before. This plan asks two key questions: How can we create an environment where people can experience life-changing, Christ-centered community? And how can we take that same invitation beyond our walls into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and the world?
Through prayer, planning, and participation, we will build rhythms that grow discipleship, strengthen connection, and expand our impact. Together, we will create space for deeper relationships and broader Kingdom influence—because following Jesus calls us both inward to grow and outward to go.
​
On top of all of that blessing one of our supporting Churches sold their property and was lead to send SMCC 100% of the proceeds. We received a $300,000 check in the mail from that sale this Summer. It is so amazing to be a part of God blessing his people and moving his kingdom. When we received this check we were in the middle of creating our 5 year plan which has a lot of big ideas and dreams on it! Then, BAM! His blessing poured out over SMCC and funded most of our 5 year plan projects! Thank you Jesus for your provision!
​
