Camp Cherokee is for everyone. Youth will enjoy the many activities such as tubing with a speed boat, rock climbing, horseback riding, swimming in the pool, etc. Family can experience worship each morning and evening with amazing staffs.

★★★★★Rachel Harrison

My first time there was for a woman's retreat and the message was so powerful and hit home with what was going on in my life at the time. It was a blessing to hear the message and know I'm not alone in this troubled world and we as women need to reach out to those lost and try to bring them to know Jesus no matter what is going on in their lives. This camp was and will be a blessing to all that have a chance to go so beautiful and quiet you can really think and get close with God. Like they say God had blessed that camp I have heard of some wonderful stories of where he watched out for the wonderful workers and kept them safe. If you haven't went you will be very blessed if you do and will want to keep going. God bless you and keep you safe.

Tucked away in the Adirondacks, this little piece of heaven is just the place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.
