En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes Camp Glisson, founded in 1925 near Cane Creek Falls in Lumpkin County, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. The resolution recounts the camp's history, from four dirt-floor cabins on two leased acres serving 26 campers to a 380 acre property with more than 420 year-round beds serving thousands of campers and guests annually. It credits the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church with running the camp and notes its role in shaping campers into community and civic leaders. The Senate formally commends the camp and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to Camp Glisson.
