Our granddaughter, Madison, is carrying on the family tradition of attending Camp Glisson this week. When Melissa first signed her up, we started asking around to see who all has been there.
In Madison's generation there are cousins Jesse and Justin...
Then the next generation back of campers are Melissa, Carrie, Jenny, Heidi, Andy...
Yet another generation is Granma Susan and Granpa Buddy, Gramma Bobbie, Aunt Sue, Aunt Kay...
Aunt Kay, WOW, has Camp Glisson really been there that long? So I had to search for a little history...
In 1925 Methodist youth leaders were looking for a retreat site and found four rustic cabins on Cane Creek for rent from the Dahlonega Chamber of Commerce. After raising money to buy the land around Cane Creek Falls for a permanent camp, Rev. Fred Glisson became the first camp manager in 1930.
Anyway, Madison left Sunday for a week at camp. She was very excited and a little nervous, but upon arriving at her cabin, and picking out a top bunk, she promptly told Melissa and Keith, "Okay, you can go now!"
This will be a week of making new friends, playing, swimming, crafts, creek walking, sleeping bags, hiking, sports, and lots of fun.
We all have great memories of Camp Glisson, and soon Madison will have also.
