Donate to Camp

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Camp Cherith ministry!  Camp Cherith is a registered Canadian charity.  Your donation makes it possible to keep our camper fees affordable and accessible to as many people as possible, while also providing the funding for projects to improve our campsite, like roads, buildings, and our eventual dining hall.

We invest in our campsite so that we can invest in people – the children and youth in our local community — in the best way we know how: by running an awesome summer camp!

Why we ask for your support.

Our camper fees cover the cost of running our summer camp program.  The fee you pay to send your child to camp covers groceries, insurance, activity supplies, administration, and operations (maintenance, etc.)  All of our staff are volunteers — there are no staff salaries! Our fees are calculated to break even at 75% capacity.  This way we are able to keep our registration fees competitive — this has been our goal ever since we started running camp over 40 years ago.

When we made the decision to buy a property in 2008, we reached out to our camp community to raise enough funds to finance the purchase of the campsite and build all of the things we needed to run camp (such as cabins and washhouses). The response has been incredible! Your financial support is what makes it possible for us to continue to develop and improve our property.

Here’s how you can help!

You can make a donation by mailing a cheque, or by specifying an amount when you register your child for summer camp.

If your workplace participates in a United Way campaign, you can assign a donation to be deducted straight from your pay. Fill in the section labeled ”Other registered Canadian charities” on your United Way pledge form.  Our business name is ”Laurentian Camp Cherith” and our business number is #11900 9645 RR0001.

You can also set up a donation from your Visa or MasterCard through our own online donation system or through CanadaHelps.org.  You can even choose to donate monthly — many of our donors find that they hardly notice $25 or $50 on their monthly credit card bill, but this makes a huge difference when it is all added up!

All donations are tax-deductible and you will receive a receipt for income tax records.

Thank you for supporting the Camp Cherith ministry!
