About Us

 Camp Tygart is a non-profit organization supported and operated by the  United Methodist Church. People from all backgrounds are welcome to  reserve and use our facilities. Our land was given by the late Jeff D.  Tygart of Nashville, Georgia, to be utilized as a spiritual retreat and  renewal center for adults, youth, and children. Camp Tygart is also the  home to the South Georgia Walk to Emmaus & Chrysalis programs, as  well as Camp Arrow.
