A Word or Two About Camp

Rideau Hill Camp was one of my first experiences in camping. From staring out as a camper to becoming a staff member for seven summers, I have a special place in my heart for RHC. It was here that I discovered my passion for the outdoors and working with youth, and grew to become a creative leader. This powerful experience has led me to my career as a Director of Outdoor Education. I will always cherish the days I spent at Rideau Hill Camp and the memories.

Kristy Farrell – past camper and staff member

There is nothing better than standing under one of the tall trees at Rideau Hill Camp and watching the sun set over the Rideau River…Well, almost nothing. The sounds of camp are pretty good too: The laughter that rises above the dining hall when the campers gather for a meal, the slurp of the oars as they are pulled from the river, the polite requests for art supplies exchanged across the craft table, the splash of water slopping over the edge of the pool, the cheers when an arrow hits the bull’s eye, the raucous songs rising above the campfire, the giggles as campers try on the voice of a Bible character. Rideau Hill Camp has existed for over 60 years, and it’s the total Rideau Hill Camp experience –the site and the sounds—that keeps campers coming back summer after summer.

Rideau Hill Camp is an open-minded and welcoming Christian camp. While we are affiliated with The United Church of Canada, we welcome campers of all faith backgrounds as well as those who are new to faith. We embody a philosophy of religious education that nurtures faith exploration rather than promoting religious dogma. We think that helping campers articulate what they believe is more important than telling them what they "should" believe.

 In order to demonstrate our dedication to the safety of our campers, Rideau Hill Camp has submitted to a rigorous evaluation of policies, procedures, and staff training which has subsequently led to our accreditation by both the OCA (Ontario Camps Association) and the UCC (The United Church of Canada). Additionally, we have a registered nurse on-site.

One of our "senior" campers commented "I love it here. Every summer is like going to a family reunion and meeting more family you don’t even know." This kind of endorsement makes those of us who work behind the scenes at Rideau Hill Camp feel that we’ve done our job –that we’ve provided campers with a sense that they belong in the camp community, in nature, and with God.
