CedarRidge is a place to grow in character through unique learning opportunities, to discover a deeper view of oneself, and explore the beauty of God’s creation.
Our mission is to provide a safe environment where children and adults can experience the love of God through Christ. We are committed to demonstrating and developing personal relationships with Christ as we strive to honor Him through every aspect of the lives of campers and staff. Our inclusive programs are designed to enable campers to experience nature while they develop skills, earn achievements throughout the week, and take on new challenges!
At HFCC, Campers come first
Will my camper be safe and well-taken care of?
Safety is our number one priority at Camp CedarRidge. We are prepared for everything from homesickness to emergency situations.

Our beautiful camp consists of sandy trails, an enchanting marshland, grassy open areas for gathering, and lots of trees!

How do I keep in touch with my camper?
It may sound old-fashioned, but we encourage snail mail up at camp. The campers love it!

We also have a Parent-to-Camper eLetter system that allows you to send your child as many emails throughout the week as you like. To send emails log into your account. From the “My Account” homepage select “Additional Options - Email a Camper”. From there you may purchase email credits, and email your camper while they are at camp.

How do I get to Camp CedarRidge?
Some cellphone carriers do not work in the National Forest and a cellphone GPS may not be helpful in the final 45 min of the trip. Some GPS units even have a hard time finding the camp based on our street address. Here's directions, just in case. You can always call our office at 989-739-3571 anytime enroute if you have questions about the camp location.
Camp CedarRidge Staff
