Our Mission

• Forest Cliff Camp is a charitable, childrens
  camp dedicated to furthering Gods kingdom
  through the evangelism of youth and to growing
  and maturing staff in their service for the Lord.

3
Our Vision

• Forest Cliff Camps vision is to be a camp
  where the gospel is clearly seen through a
  well-trained, caring staff, and through an
  excellent camping program.

4

• Forest Cliff Camp began under canvas at Turkey
  Point as Foresthill Boys Camp in 1939 under the
  sponsorship of the London Christian Business
  Mens Association.

5

• Incorporated in 1947, Forest Cliff Camp moved to
  its present location on a beautiful sandy beach
  on Lake Huron.

6

• Through the years, Forest Cliff Camp has
  undergone many changes...

7

• Cabins have replaced the old tabins and tents.

• The campground now rings with the laughter of
  both boys and girls.

8

• An exciting recreational program that includes
  aqua sledding, rocketry, horseback riding, wacky
  science, and a 30ft. climbing and bouldering wall
  have been added to the original camp activities.

9

• Training programs aimed at developing leadership
  skills and spiritual disciplines for potential
  staff have been added and improved over the
  years.

10

• Fully accredited by the Ontario Camping
  Association since 1997, Forest Cliff Camp is also
  a member of Christian Camping International.

11

• One thing that has not changed is that campers
  still love Forest Cliff Camp.

• For many years, Forest Cliff Camp has had the
  reputation for being "full" long before summer
  begins.

Unfortunately, every summer many children and
teens that would like to come to Forest Cliff,
are left on waiting lists for each week of camp.
14

• Efforts have been made in recent years to develop
  our facilities so that more campers can be
  accommodated.

In the summer of 2004 1687 campers ages 7-14
attended Forest Cliff Camp.
15

• Life-changing moments are still at the core of
  Forest Cliff Camp.

Teaching from Gods Word and the example of
mature leadership are daily priorities.
Forest Cliff Camp is non-denominational and
welcomes campers from a variety of church and
non-church backgrounds.
16

• Forest Cliff is the place where many campers hear
  for the first time that God loves them and wants
  to be their friend.

17

• Our Future

18

• Our continuing growth and our desire to further
  enhance each campers experience, has inspired
  the plans for a new, modern, multi-purpose
  facility.
