OTHER CAMP INFO: Charis Hills is a non-denominational independent Christian camp. All are welcome! We do teach basic Christian principles but do not enter into denominational differences. Many who attend are not "churched" for multiple reasons. The founders are both masters level teachers with experience dealing with many different disabilities, some, for more years than they care to admit. This camp was built and program designed specifically to serve this population. We try to meet the campers where they are in their journey. We are "drumming to the beat of a different marcher".
