Who are you as an organization?

Camp Cherith Lanark is a co-ed, skills-based, interdenominational Christian camp committed to promoting biblical understanding and application to life. Campers grow in their appreciation of God's creation as they engage in traditional camp activities and learn a variety of outdoor skills with old and new friends. Skills include archery, fishing, crafts, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, music, photography, etc. Our expanded vision and reach includes children, youth, and families in both overnight and day camps, and develop Christian leaders for camp and for life.

What do you do differently or uniquely well?

Camp Cherith is a small interdenominational para-church ministry on the Clyde River in the beautiful, secluded Lanark Highlands. We acknowledge the various distinctives and traditions of our partner churches, staff, volunteers, and camper families. Our common focus is on presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Campers discover Christ in the context of His creation, develop skills, and grow in self-confidence. We invest heavily in equipping and developing strong leaders both for camp and for life.

Who are your 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.

What do families need to know about registration and joining Camp Cherith - Lanark?

Registration usually opens early December. Most find our website cherith.ca fairly intuitive and have no problem with the registration process. For specific questions, we monitor the email lanarkcampcherith@gmail.com and generally respond within 1-2 business days.

Insider Reviews & Perspectives

The Our Kids review of Camp Cherith - Lanark

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.

Anonymous (Parent) — CILT Program

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!

Anonymous (Parent) — 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?"

Anonymous (Parent) — Amazing Opportunity

My children were so blessed to have the opportunity to attend this amazing camp! They had a fantastic experience.
