Camp JD Tygart

Camp Tygart is a non-profit organization supported and operated by the United Methodist Church. All Christian denominations are welcome to reserve, and use our facilities. The land was given by the late Jeff D. Tygart of Nashville as a center for the South Central District of the United Methodist Church's South Georgia Conference adults, youth and children to enjoy God's great outdoors. Camp Tygart is also the home to the South Georgia Walk to Emmaus & Chrysalis programs as well as Camp Arrow.
