Camp Cherith® Lanark is a co-ed,
interdenominational, Christian camp
located on the banks of the beautiful Clyde River.
This Christ-centered camp offers
a variety of outdoor skill development
within the context of a community
committed to the pursuit
of Biblical teachings and values.

Our desire is for children, youth, and adults
to continually experience the joy of life
and the beauty of God’s love.

Campers will have the chance to learn
from the Bible and understand
how it can apply to their lives,
and how they can grow as Christians.

Our camp roots go back as far as 1948
when Camp Cherith® was first held
at a Brethren camp in Saint Jerome, Quebec.
Laurentian Camp Cherith® was incorporated
in 1976, initially as an all-girls camp.
Boys started coming to camp in 1987.
For about 40 years, we rented the campsite
at Camp Kalalla, on Lac Notre Dame in Quebec.
In 2008, we purchased our own property
in the Lanark Highlands – formerly
the River Farm Christian Campground.
We ran our first summer camp
at the new property in 2009.
We have changed a lot over the years,
but camp still has the same purpose ---
--- to tell campers about God’s provision
for their physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual needs!

To help children and youth put Christ first
in every aspect of life,
to nurture healthy relationships,
and to develop a positive self-image.

• Centrality of Jesus Christ in every phase of life
• Reliance on the Holy Spirit through prayer & trusting in God’s provision
• Safety of campers & staff (both physical & emotional)
• Making a positive impact on each camper
• Developing an appreciation of God’s creation
