CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Since 1954 Camp Cherith's rich and diverse outdoor activities have helped campers aged 6 - 17 gain self confidence, develop leadership skills and grow socially and spiritually. Our Christian environment is an intentional integration of Biblical values and activity. Customized programs are taught by positive role models in a small group, non competitive and fun atmosphere. Camp Cherith provides children with a community of caring adults, who nurture experiential education that results in self-respect and appreciation for God and His creation. All of the outcomes - self-identity, self-worth, self-esteem, leadership, and self-respect - build personal competencies.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Leadership programs:
CILT (grades 10 and up)

FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): Mother Daughter Weekend
Father Son Weekend
Camp Cherith values the parent-child relationship. That's why we offer our very special Mother-Daughter and Father-Son Weekends. A weekend together at Cherith can strengthen an adult-child (or teen) bond in ways that few experiences in daily life can. It's also an incredible opportunity to connect with God through worship in a tranquil, natural setting that proclaims the wonder of his creation.
OTHER CAMP INFO: Camp Cherith is more than something to do when school's out. It is an essential component of your child's healthy development - physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually and spiritually.
