Glisson Park in Marrero, LA, formerly known as Camp Glisson in Dahlonega, Georgia, has a rich history dating back to the 1920s when it was established by Methodist minister Rev. Fred Glisson. The camp offers faith-forming summer programs for elementary, mid-high, and senior high campers, with a focus on outdoor activities, retreats, and service opportunities.

Over the years, Glisson has evolved into a year-round camp, emphasizing growth, progress, and restoration efforts along Cane Creek. The camp's commitment to inclusivity was demonstrated in 1962 when it voluntarily integrated, setting a precedent for racial harmony in the region.
