Think back to when you were a kid and to the best summer of your life. For a lot of people, that was a summer spent at camp - extended time away from family and friends, meeting new people, spending the entire day hanging out with new friends and doing new things in a new place. For some, summer camp was transformational.
That certainly can be said for thousands of people who spent their summer months at a camp in the hills of Northeast Tennessee.
Doe River Gorge opened with the idea of doing good in the lives of young people. Today, you’ll meet Terry Maughon, the founder and camp executive director. You’ll hear how his vision translated an abandoned theme park in the middle of nowhere into a first class camp that draws kids from around the country. You’ll hear how his faith literally moved a mountain (no joke). And you’ll hear how his determination to do good led to a powerful pivot during the pandemic. He’ll share ideas for doing good when everyone around you says your idea just can’t be done. And we think he’ll revive your belief that anything is possible when there is a higher power leading the way.
