The ministry of North Georgia Christian Camp began in 1966, with 43 acres donated in 1971 by Lora Kiss to be used as a permanent Christian camp facility. Camp buildings were completed in late summer of 1972, and the first camp season on the new campground was held in August 1972. The camp states that it has been committed to providing a quality Christian camp in a loving, caring, and safe environment for over 50 years and is now used year round, with more than 3,500 people each year calling North Georgia Christian Camp “home.”

According to its mission statement, North Georgia Christian Camp exists to show and tell youth about Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, to be an extension of the local church for all ages to learn, grow in the Lord, and be challenged to serve Him, and to provide a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can be challenged to grow in their faith of Jesus and realize their need for Him in their lives. The camp is a non-profit owned and supported by 29 non-denominational Christian churches from south Georgia to North Carolina, and these churches, along with individuals and families, support the camp through donated time, talents, and money.

The leadership team includes Jared and Brooklynn Cox as Camp Director and Camp Cook, Seth and Lauren Banks as Director of Facilities and Administrative Coordinator, and Jeffery Neese as Facilities Manager.
