    The Our Kids review of Camp Cherith - Lanark

    our take

    On the banks of the Clyde River, Camp Cherith Lanark is a co-ed Christ-centred camp. What’s unique about this camp is that it puts Jesus Christ at the forefront while teaching campers to love and take care of one another. This camp is all about inner growth and trusting in God to help nurture healthy relationships and a positive self image. It is also a skills-based camp, with too many activities to mention, but among the most popular are archery, photography, music, and kayaking. There is a huge emphasis on leadership and developing future leaders, so campers do come back as counselors for younger campers. The entire staff is of different generations, starting from volunteers at age 16. Kids are changed by their experiences at Camp Cherith Lanark. The beauty of the property is a large part of the appeal, where kids can feel at peace. As a new camp, Camp Cherith Lanark is still developing its program and traditions, but it has already done this in a special way.

    My 14 year old daughter attended Camp this year and was extremely pleased with her experience. She enjoyed it and learned so much about herself and what she can do in a supportive, safe, faith filled environment!

    Best Summer Ever

    My son loved his experience at Camp Cherith! So much that when we picked him up, the first words out of his mouth were not hello, they were: "Can I come back next year?"

    Staff and Counsellors

    Our multi-generational staff is a combination of volunteers, year-round workers, and young people 16+. We seek to build a team that includes a solid core of repeat staff from a variety of cultural backgrounds, experiences, and Christian affiliations. A week is set aside at the beginning of summer for staff training in our program and philosophy, to get to know one another and build our team. Staff learn how to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of campers, build healthy relationships, and help campers discover Christ in the context of His creation.

    • Creating a Place for Everyone: Jeremy’s Journey at Camp Cherith

      Here at Camp Cherith, we have been working hard at finding new and creative ways to help those on the autism spectrum to come and enjoy Camp, while having a safe impactful time. Young Jeremy (name changed for privacy reasons) has been coming for the last few years with growing success. Through good communication with Mom and the patient care of our wonderful staff, Jeremy has gone from only being able to handle an hour or two of camp to thriving for an entire week. We are so thankful for this small success and our thankful for the partnership we have with his family. Working together, Jeremy is making life long memories!
