"I sent my daughter for the first time this year to Sparrowwood. She seemed to have a great time. Your staff was amazing at making her feel welcomed and me feel safe leaving her alone. She has two siblings who can't wait to come to Glisson next year for their first time. Not only do you impact the 2500 campers and youth, but their families as well. Thank you for such a great first camp experience."
- Karen, parent of a 2011 Sparrowwood camper
Simple Ways to Support
Do you ever use a search engine?
Do you ever shop online?
Do you use a printer at home?
Do you ever volunteer with your church?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you can help Glisson's cause in these simple, low- or no-cost ways.
Search On-line... Give to Glisson
 |
| Give by searching the web |
By downloading the GoodSearch toolbar to your desktop, each search is incredibly easy because the search box remains at the top of your screen.
Now instead of "googling", you can start "searching for Glisson."

More than 700 of your favorite on-line retailers, including Amazon, eBay, Target, iTunes, Staples, Nordstrom and more, have partnered with GoodSearch's sister site, GoodShop.com, donating a percentage of your purchases to Camp Glisson at no additional cost to you!

Recycle and Raise Funds
Don't throw away those empty printer cartridges or old cell phones! Recycle them and help Camp Glisson raise funds. Camp Glisson gets paid cash for every recyclable item returned through our recycling partners. The items which can be recycled include:
- Inkjet printer cartridges
- Cell phones
We can also provide you with a collection box for your church, place of business or neighborhood. The collection box doubles as a FedEx postage-paid shipping box. You can encourage your church members, neighbors, friends and co-workers to bring you their items. Ask your pastor if you can place a notice in your church bulletin or newsletter encouraging members to donate their items on behalf of Glisson.
By recycling these items for Glisson, you are not only helping us raise much-needed funds, you are also having a positive impact on our environment by keeping them out of our landfills.
NOTE: Although we do have the capability of recycling the bulkier laserjet printer cartridges, many of these models are not recyclable and the shipping process for these items is more convoluted. If you have access to a large quantity of empty laserjets, contact us to help determine the feasibility of recycling.
