Mountain T.O.P. ("Tennessee Outreach Project"), is a Christian ministry program that serves families in the Cumberland Mountains of middle Tennessee. It is run as a summer camp from the beginning of June to the Beginning of August, that sends campers from all over the United States and other countries to the homes of the residents to do minor construction, yard work, painting projects, etc. It operates entirely on donations and is associated with the United Methodist Church, though campers that attend are often from different denominations. In 2007, the program reopened their Day Camp program. The Day Camp program uses volunteers from the camp to run a day camp for children who live on the mountain.
