A Little Bit About Ferncliff

We have been operating our summer camp programs since 1937. We do our best to deliver creative camp programs that incorporate sustainability and mission and outreach. We are accredited with the American Camping Association and an active member of the Presbyterian Church Camp and Conference Association. We believe that the summer camp counselors that we hire are the most impactful part of our summer camp experience. That’s why we go to great lengths to hire and train Christian young adults to be role models for our campers. Know someone who would be a great addition to our team? Have them apply for a summer staff position here.

The goal of Ferncliff’s camp programs is to guide children and youth towards a life of caring for Creation, others, and themselves. During a week of camp, campers of all ages at Ferncliff will expand their independence, strengthen their sense of identity, develop interpersonal skills, connect with creation and explore their Christian faith.
