Bible Exploration is one of the most important things we do at Camp Cherith. Campers spend 45 minutes each weekday studying God's word with their counselor and cabin group. Campers do a personal devotional each morning called "Morning Watch" that follows the same theme as the Bible Exploration curriculum.

And at night you don't worry because you're so tired from your busy day that you fall right to sleep!"
We have campers that come from 16 different states and over 160 different churches! Come join us!!
Camp Cherith resides on 280 stunning acres of lakes, woodlands, and rolling hills. Beautiful Lake Six provides a clean and safe environment for our waterfront activities, and Schram's Lake offers a majestic backdrop for morning devotions, outdoor chapel services, canoeing, and hanging out with friends.
Campers are taught how to make Christ real in every phase of their lives while participating in traditional camp activities, focusing on fun, learning new skills, building friendships, and enjoying nature.
Camp Cherith offers leadership training for both girls and boys. The program for girls is called CILT (Campers in Leadership Training) and for boys it is called BILT (Boys in Leadership Training). Both are two-year programs for campers who've completed tenth grade and want to develop leadership skills with an emphasis on spiritual growth. It is an intensive commitment, including the planning and implementation of various camp activities, reading and teaching assignments, and finally a week of actual staff experience on site.
"Watching the campers gain confidence and improve their skill levels each summer is so rewarding to me." — Jamie Heisdorffer, Staff
