We are working very hard behind the scenes to get everything ready for the summer! As you can see, a new look for our website is well under way. Here’s what else you can expect this year at camp:

A new location. Our plan is to run camp at our new site in Lanark. This site features huge fields, a beautiful riverfront, and flush toilets! (Don’t worry, we’ll still have outhouses too!) We’re very excited about having a place to call our own, and will be working hard to build everything we need (you can help us out by volunteering at our Spring Work Party). Please visit the Construction Progress section of our website to see how Phase 1 of our site development is progressing!

Four weeks of camp. For the first time ever, we are pleased to offer four consecutive weeks of summer camp! Come for just one week, two, three, or even all four!

The Service Team is back! We’ll have a lot of work to do this summer. If you are 15-17 years old, enjoy doing carpentry, building and fixing things, and want to have a part in building up our site, you’ll want to check this out!

New activities! Our new site offers new possibilities, and over the coming years we will be offering lots of exciting new choices. For 2009, we are introducing three new activities: cooking, digital photography, and extreme golf!

Lots more to come! We have a lot of other things in the works, and we look forward to sharing them with you soon!

We will open our camper registration for summer 2009 very soon. We had previously anticipated opening on February 1, but this will be delayed slightly as we are working on installing a new web-based online registration system.

Meanwhile, if you have any questions about registering for camp, please feel free to contact our registrar by phone at (613) 288-5806 or by emailing info@cherith.ca.
