Each summer, we welcome over a thousand campers who come to share in a warm welcome, good food, friendship, campfires, stories, worship and songs. Each week of camp forms a community that experiences the love of God through a dedicated staff, well planned activities, and a beautiful outdoor setting.

Come one, come all! A day to relax, play, and enjoy camp with the whole family. On Sunday, April 25, 2010, from 1pm to 5pm, come enjoy an afternoon in the wonderful spring weather. Experience a taste of the camp life with us!

“I can’t imagine my life without camp.”

- Elizabeth, age 16

Six years ago, camp transformed Elizabeth’s life. Her first week at resident camp, she found herself a little homesick and a lot unsure. The first night, a Carolina summertime thunderstorm kept her awake. As she lay in bed, homesick and a little scared, she wondered what her week at camp would hold. As her thoughts wandered between her family back home and her cabinmates and counselors in her cabin, she realized she was not the only one awake. Her counselor was at her bedside, making sure she was okay. She stayed with Elizabeth until sleep finally came. “It was the little things like that that made me fall in love with the people and the camp…by the end of the week, I never wanted to leave.”

The People Have Spoken

For the second year running, Chestnut Ridge was voted #1 by Carolina Parent readers! In their 2009 annual "Family Favorites" contest, Chestnut Ridge was voted the #1 day and residential camp by the readers of Carolina Parent Magazine.

Inflatable Lake Toys are here!

Lake Fellowship will take on a new look when the inflatable lake toys arrive this summer!  We are excited about this new addition to the already amazing selection of programs at Chestnut Ridge. Campers will climb, slide, bounce, and swim all throughout the day with the new lake toys.
