Summer Camp

Countryside Camp & Conference Centre is a Christ-Centered Organization promoting global community and greater good through a commitment to love God and love our neighbour. Our programs reflect the belief that each individual’s life is important to God and makes a difference to all.

"Camp Shalom" summer programs aim to teach young leaders to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Programs are designed to help participants form Christian value-based foundations through formal instruction and hands-on experience. Young people are grounded in godly traits such as faith, self-discipline, responsibility, friendship, work, truth, courage, honesty, loyalty, perseverance and compassion.

"Camp Shalom" staff and counselors are selected for both their spiritual testimony and demonstrated life experience; they serve as mentors in faith training and character development. They are responsible young adults who provide the example by showing an allegiance to God, and who, through good character, demonstrate the clear difference between right and wrong in their everyday habits. Our leaders complete one of the most rigorous training programs currently offered in the Christian camping industry.

From this foundation the ministry that God has undertaken at Countryside Camp & Conference Centre and that of "Camp Shalom" has positively impacted over 19,000 summer campers and staff. Many now serve in positions of influence throughout Ontario and the world.
