Welcome to Christ in the Smokies! Our goal is to assist you as a dad to equip your son to live an authentic and noble life. We do this through providing Christian retreats for fathers and sons in the magnificent Smoky Mountains. Outdoor adventure and biblically based content abound in summer camps based in the eastern United States. Forge a strong bond and pave the way to Christ-centered manhood at Christ in the Smokies—the adventure of a lifetime!

Tim has taken the craft of making potato cannons to the next level. Fathers and sons; live, controlled explosions; and fast-moving spuds!

Tim has a passion for men, and in particular, for fathers and sons. He is all in! People feel that. They know he is “for real” and has a true heart to serve, love and nurture them. Tim is great to volunteer with because he loves serving God and serving with others. He shines best when engaged using the gifts he has been given.

Tim is always happy to go over and above the scope of duties. His sincere interaction and passion for seeing men and their sons’ relationships grow in Christ made the week successful for fathers and sons.
– Greg Dyson

Tim is a great man of God, and those of us who have the honor of calling him friend do so from a place of gratefulness for all God has done in and through him.
-Jason Carr

Tim is passionate, intelligent, compassionate, wise, loving. He is integrity-driven and follows Jesus with all of his heart. He’s my best friend, the best man I know. Tim serves well — it’s as natural to him as breathing; he cares deeply about fathers and sons — he’s both, after all!
– Anne Baker

Leading with maximum heart, available ears, and a strong desire to see men experience something special.
