The Association of Cedarbrook Camps is a network of independent, Christ-centered summer camps located across the United States and Canada, unified by a shared mission to help youth grow in their faith, develop strong character, and become confident, capable leaders in Christ. With decades of experience in biblically based youth ministry and outdoor discipleship, our camps are rooted in a time-tested philosophy that transforms lives through Scripture, community, and adventure.
Each Cedarbrook Camp location offers a unique experience that reflects its region’s natural beauty while remaining aligned with the core values of the Association: biblical teaching, personal growth, servant leadership, and safe, skill-based activities in the context of a caring, Christ-focused environment. From horseback riding in Washington to canoeing in Ontario, each program is intentionally designed to help campers encounter God through His Word, His people, and His creation.
The Association of Cedarbrook Camps exists to provide accountability, spiritual guidance, and resources for its member camps, ensuring that every location maintains the highest standards in safety, training, discipleship, and outdoor education. Our network spans both the United States and Canada and includes long-established camps in states such as Texas, California, Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Illinois, Arizona, Michigan, Washington, and provinces like Ontario—each operating independently but connected by a unified commitment to raising up the next generation of Christ-followers.
All Cedarbrook Camps share a consistent programming model that includes morning devotions, small group Bible study, high-quality activity instruction, and evening campfires centered on worship and personal reflection. Our approach encourages spiritual maturity, life skill development, leadership formation, and healthy peer relationships. The emphasis is not just on creating memorable summer experiences, but on producing lasting spiritual impact that carries into school, family, church, and community life.
Cedarbrook Camps are non-denominational, welcoming youth from diverse Christian backgrounds, and operated by dedicated believers who view camping as a powerful tool for discipleship. Through every hike, campfire, and cabin conversation, we plant seeds of faith that grow for a lifetime.
Whether you’re looking for a safe and spiritually enriching summer camp for your child, or you’re a ministry-minded individual seeking to serve or support our mission, the Association of Cedarbrook Camps provides a national framework of trust, consistency, and Christ-honoring excellence.

What is Cedarbrook Camping?
A camp that can affirm to the Association of Cedarbrook Camps (ACC) Spiritual Standard and Statement and Faith; Cedarbrook Core Values, Organizational Goals and Camper Development Outcomes; and is accredited by the American Camp Association; or an equivalent accreditation body in Canada; is a Cedarbrook Camp. By signing the ACC affirmation statement, the camp affirms agreement with the use of the elements of the affirmation within their camp and staff leadership, training and programming.
The Association encourages member camps to incorporate Cedarbrook into their camp name, or follow their camp’s name with the identification “A Cedarbrook Camp”. When using the Cedarbrook name within a camp or within the association, a camp will employ the Logo Usage and Graphic Standards outlined in the Association manual.
