FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
Important Note for visitors: Cane Creek Falls and Glisson are entirely closed to the public while summer camp is in session. For 2011, the dates during which Glisson was closed to the public were May 21 through July 31, 2011. The 2012 summer schedule has not yet been confirmed, but the 2012 dates will be very similar to last year's dates.
During the summer, Cane Creek Falls serves as a stunning and constant reminder of God's beautiful Creation to our campers, staff, and -- on Fridays -- camper parents and family members. During the retreat season (mid-August to mid-May), visitors are welcome to check in at the Welcome Center during business hours, then walk down to view the falls.
