In 1986, Taylor Christian Camp welcomed its first group of summer campers.  Since then thousands of kids and “kids at heart” have united each summer to celebrate their faith and to strengthen their personal walk with God.

Donald Chaffin served and led the youth of Jackson/Smith County Youth Camp from its inception in 1986 up until he was diagnosed with ALS in 2008.  His love for working with youth was defined through the countless hours of service that helped ensure the success of the camp and enrich the many lives it changed.  Not only have thousands of children enjoyed the summer camp programs but hundreds have also been baptized into Christ.

A portion of the proceeds raised during the Run 4 Don will be dedicated to scholarships for students who best embody JSCYC’s motto:

“Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”  1 Corinthians 10:31
