FAITH & WORSHIP
Faith
Chestnut Ridge is a Christian camp related by faith to The United Methodist Church that is working to serve local churches and the community.
Worship
All campers participate in our daily worship featuring a talented band, fun skits, and engaging speakers.
Campers of various religious traditions or no religious tradition are always welcome to attend Chestnut Ridge.
It is our intent to share our faith with the campers and invite them to explore what it means to live out a life of faith in Christian community. We earnestly seek to present and live out a vibrant, active Christian faith that is inviting, life-giving, and transformative.

summer theme:
Because God Loved
Curious about your camper's faith experiences this week?
Here are some questions and ideas to keep the conversation going:
I wonder if you learned any new songs this week?
I wonder what the skits were like?
(for res campers) Is there a blessing you said before a meal you could teach the family?
Try reading the theme scriptures together, starting with the ones your camper explored and branching out from there. You can ask how your camper thinks each scripture relates to that day's theme.
Interested in passing on your faith to your kids?
Wish there were a supportive community to help?
Check out Seeds of Faith, a family ministry of Chestnut Ridge that meets for free weekly meals at camp September - May.
