\"CampThis 32-acre property is located about 45 minutes west of Portland and can sleep up to 225 indoors with another 80 in canvas platform tents and lots of space for additional tent camping. The property is also ideal for hosting weddings, picnics, concerts and other events.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are deeply grateful for the community support that has led to this historic step of purchasing the first CSL camp and retreat facility. Camp Cedar Ridge is operated by its own not-for-profit 501c3 structure and Board, while CSL is the owner of the asset\/land.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most important reasons for the decision to purchase Camp Cedar Ridge is that our CSL Teen Camp now has a permanent home! This was the site of the CSL Teen camp in 2004-2007, at which time the teens built a beautiful, large labyrinth, that we will now restore and make a prominent feature at the location. We are excited that the CSL Teens will be holding their camp at Camp Cedar Ridge this summer! Learn More<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

We are also pleased to announce that we are recruiting for a CSL Summer Internship program.\u00a0 If you know a former CSL Teen Camp graduate or member of a Center who would be interested, they can read about it and apply here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Practitioners and Ministers can support Camp Cedar Ridge through our Practitioner of the Week<\/a> program. All you have to do is sign up for a week and include the staff, interns, volunteers and guests in prayer!<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to booking and hosting CSL and other New Thought groups and we will be welcoming donations and volunteers<\/a>. We are already booking events into 2027, so if you have a particular date in mind, please reach out. We invite you to check out the Camp Cedar Ridge website<\/a> and like and follow Camp Cedar Ridge on <\/span>Facebook,<\/span><\/a> Instagram and TikTok (@CampCedarRidgeOR) where you will be able to keep up with what is going on at camp and updates about projects that you and your Center can be involved with. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
