Berwick Camp

Berwick camp does and always will hold a special place in my heart because of the Christian Ashram that is held there every July.

Attending Berwick Camp is one of the greatest gifts I have given my children. Our first camp was in 2002, when they were 8 and 6 years old. We all consider Berwick Camp to be a part of our lives; past, present, and future.All are welcome at Camp and no one is held to any expectation of religion, gender, age, or socioeconomic identity. It is truly one of the thin" places on this earth.Try it

It is so waso,e

Volunteers that run the place are so efficient and caring

I've been attending Berwick for the past 33 years. Some people might think turquoise waters and white sand is paradise but I say it is the sound of people chatting and laughing over tea and cookies, the heat bugs in the tall hemlocks, the choir practicing in the distance, and the dining hall triangle telling everyone it is time to eat! Growing up there every year I got to experience so much joy and freedom that children don't often get at home. Having kids now, I want them to experience camp as I did. A safe place where they can run around and be kids without worry. Berwick Camp is most definitely paradise on Earth.

This camp is for every age - 0 to 100+! Although I have attended this camp regularly for 57 years, this past year I arrived with a 5 month old and a 3 year old for the first time since I brought my own children. There were no shortage of babysitters/entertainers I can tell you! It was extraordinary.For parents, this camp occupies their kids almost all day--a lovely cooperatively run nursery, a voluntary (great way to make friends!) vacation bible school"/youth program for all grades (religious views can run from traditional to very progressive--all are welcome!)

Berwick United Church Camp is an all ages church camp. There is something for everybody from infants to seniors and all ages in between. Berwick is a wonderful retreat from everyday life, under a large stand of old growth hemlocks. Berwick is a chance to spend time with family and friends, and a great chance to meet new friends.There is no question, that Berwick is one of the best places on earth. Every year we look forward to the 10 days that are Berwick Camp.And thanks to social media, we are now able to stay in closer contact year round with our Berwick family.

This place is a slice of heaven , a teaser to what's ahead, peaceful and full of good family fun and tranquility. Old fashioned morals and values brought together with new technology and activities for all ages.This place refills my heart,soul and spirit each summer to get me through the other 51 weeks.Berwick Camp is my Go To, Fill Up and Leave Happy kinda place.Heavenly Sunshine,

My wife Maureen and I have been attending Berwick Camp on a regular basis since 1983. With two young children and limited family budget we were intrigued by what Berwick had to offer back in 1983. Our kids were then 7 (Darin) and 9 (Kim). We had no camping gear and were fortunate to be able borrow a 23 foot travel trailer from friends of Maureen's parents. The trailer was delivered for us by the owners who also agreed to pick it up at the close of the encampment that year. What a delightful experience we had. We soon discovered that we knew several campers whom we had met at various churches and other social events. We were warmly welcomed by a welcoming committee on arrival and our two kids quickly found new friends with whom they have maintained contact ever since. Berwick, in those earlier days became our annual vacation time and we all became more involved in both the annual encampment activities in addition to slowly getting more and more involved in the Association itself. We are happy to reflect over these past 33 years or so and our memories/experiences at Berwick Camp as one of, if indeed may be the most important experiences of our lives. Each year we look forward with hopeful anticipation to returning for the annual encampment to see friends, many of whom we only see at that time of year. We now consider Berwick Camp and all the people associated with the Association as our extended family. We often tell others who have not had the privilege to attend an encampment that you don't really attend, you experience" Berwick Camp. We feel that the grounds are sacred grounds as God has been at work there for 145 years molding and shaping His children to live out His word in mind
