Lost and Found Viewing and Pickup

September 1st, 2009

Did something get left behind at camp? We’ll have it on display on Saturday, September 5th from 9-11am at Grace Presbyterian Church in Orleans, and again on Saturday, September 12th at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Nepean from 9-11am.

Our lost and found collection includes dozens of adult and children’s T-shirts, pants, jackets and sweaters, a few pairs of shoes and rubber boots, a sleeping bag, and a few towels.

After September 12th, the lost-and-found will become a rummage sale! Any items still left unclaimed will be donated to the Salvation Army.

Camp Cherith Silent Auction Raises $6,000

April 20th, 2009

We would like to express our thanks for everyone who came out to our second annual Silent Auction, which was held on Friday, April 17, at Cedarview Alliance Church.  Decorated in khakis and camo, ammo boxes and scrubs, our dinner took on the life of a M*A*S*H episode (there was even a still — serving lemonade, of course!)

You took home framed art, iPods, digital cameras, cottage weekends, gift certificates, and numerous raffle prizes including gift cards and camp T-shirts.  Thanks to you, and to all of the generous donors who provided the merchandise, we were able to raise a total of $6,000! 

We appreciate all your enthusiastic support and look forward to seeing you again at our next event!

New Registration System is Live!

March 6th, 2009

We’ve just turned on our new online registration system!  Now you can pay for your camper registrations online using your credit card, and once you’ve completed your registration, you’ll receive confirmation right away that you got the cabin and the activities that you wanted!  The system will also save your profile for when you register again next year!

Because this is new, we ask that you please let us know right away if you encounter any problems.  Please call (613) 288-5806 or email us and we will be happy to assist if you have any questions or issues with the online system.

If you have already registered, our registrar will enter your information into the new system for you, and we will contact you with instructions to activate your new online account.

We look forward to seeing you at camp this summer!

Updates in the Works

February 14th, 2009

If you’ve been monitoring our website over the past several weeks you have no doubt watched the transition as we are moving to an updated website design.  Over the coming weeks we will continue to make improvements and add photos and much more information.  We are very receptive to suggestions — please contact us if you have ideas!

Within the next few weeks you will also see a significant upgrade to our online registration system.  Your camper information will soon be saved in a password-protected profile (no more retyping!); you will be able to pay online using your credit card, and your registration will be immediately confirmed — no more waiting to see if you made it into the division or activities you requested! We’re very excited about this new system and look forward to rolling it out very soon.

We’ll provide updates as they come — keep checking!
