Welcome

Cedarbrook Camp Southern California is an ACA accredited non-denominational Christian camp located in the San Bernardino Mountains, near Big Bear. Our summer ministry is to individuals and churches who seek a week-long outdoor camp where Christ is modeled in all that we do. We also provide fall and spring events for mothers and daughters, as well as a women’s retreat.

Our camping history began in 1946 as Camp Cherith Southern California. We are located at Sky Meadows Camp, where our ministry first began over 75 years ago. Our desire is to continue the legacy of providing a relationship based Christian camping opportunity.
